		Macleay's approach to the Australian bush was in contrast with that of the majority of colonists, who customarily cleared it and started afresh.

		They may provide base flows in rivers during dry periods and may be primary sources of water for wetland, floodplain and riparian vegetation.
		River systems can sometimes be affected by unforeseen or irregular events-such as algal blooms or the start of bird-breeding seasons.
		As river flows are a major determinant of many of these processes, we can sometimes alleviate a water-quality or environmental problem by better managing river flows.
