	Namoi River - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Namoi River is a river in inland New South Wales, Australia.
		The headwaters of the Namoi, including the Macdonald River, the Peel River, the Cockburn River and the Manilla River, rise on the western slopes of the Great Dividing Range in northern New South Wales.
		The floodplains of the lower Namoi around Wee Waa are an important area for growing cotton which is irrigated using water from the dam.

	AM Archive - Controversial fish kill in Namoi River
		COMPERE: Aboriginal communities in northern New South Wales claim that a massive fish kill on the Namoi River was caused by pesticides from the cotton industry.
		You've got a different colour in the fish and their gills are gone pink, and a lot of the fish that come to the surface they only last for a hour or two when they're floating down and they die.
		GEOFF WISE: All the indications at this stage is that it's most likely from lack of oxygen in the river coinciding with the rising flood waters that were coming down, we believe it's probably lack of oxygen in the water that's led to their death.

		The River Blackfish may be pale green, yellowish, brown or fl in colour.
		The River Blackfish grows to 600mm in length, but individuals this size are uncommon.
		The River Blackfish, found in freshwater streams in south-eastern Australia, has a reduced distribution because of habitat degradation.

	River Flow Objectives - Namoi River
		River Flow Objectives were not recommended for the regulated parts of the Murray, Murrumbidgee, Lachlan, Macquarie, Namoi, Gwydir and Hunter Rivers, as well as for the Barwon-Darling River.
		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.

		Previous research has shown that the relative abundance of various carbon isotopes, nitrogen isotopes and the C to N ratios within sediment cores, are indicators of algae and nutrient status.
		Early indications from the Lake Alexandrina site at the mouth of the River Murray were that over the past 40 years there had been a significant increase in the level of recycled nitrogen, suggesting an increase from irrigation drainage.
		Most of the research on algal blooms in rivers has been conducted in the Northern Hemisphere where the landscape and river systems are totally different to those in Australia.

	Namoi River
		The river provides a source of financial security for the community, which comes from industry and other economic benefits that depend on the overall water system-including secure groundwater supplies to bores.
		There was also support for the less-stringent option of water quality adequate for basic river health and basic human uses, either as a preferred choice or as an alternative to the previous option-particularly as a short-term goal for waterways affected by more intense human use.
		Reduce the loss of native vegetation across the catchment and the resulting land degradation, leading to excessive sedimentation of streams and wetlands, increasing water turbidity, rising watertables, increased salinity levels in waters, and silting-which is diminishing the number and size of water holes.

	Walkabout - Boggabri
		Boggabri is a small and tranquil country town of about 1000 people on rising ground by the Namoi River, 37 km north of Gunnedah and 471 km north-west of Sydney.
		Clarke's account of the Namoi River and his tales of an enormous inland sea prompted the acting governor to send Thomas Mitchell on an expedition into the district, thereby opening the area up to settlement.
		His name was bestowed upon the creek which intersects with the river at the town.

	Salinity risk assessment in the Lower Namoi Valley
		Dryland salinity is on the increase in the upper catchments of the central and northern river valleys of New South Wales (Murray Darling Basin Ministerial Council, 1999).
		Two samples were collected from along the Namoi River: one from Collins Bridge (near Wee Waa) and the other in the township of Narrabri.
		The reason for this is attributable to the generally sandier and coarser textured sediments associated with the prior stream channel of the Namoi River, which flowed in a northwesterly direction, parallel with Spring Plains Road.

	Henry Coxen - A Remarkable Lad
		From the Peel River, Henry moved to another of Stephen Coxen's stations, Gundamin, a cattle station on the Namoi River.
		Amongst these was a group of graziers on the Namoi River, Charles Coxen, Richard Scougall and Lieutenant Irving.
		Henry Dennis was equally surprised to find them there, as he was engaged in surveying the boundaries of the run he had chosen for himself and was quite unaware of all the developments that had taken place on the Downs in the time he had been away.

		An assessment of the current biophysical condition of the Namoi River (environmental scan) is essential to develop a common understanding of the processes and management activities that affect the health of the river.
		Native fish populations are often used as an indicator of river health, as their presence is dependent on a number of factors such as energy (food) availability, water quality, flow regime and habitat availability.
		With the establishment of this program in the Namoi Valley, particularly if the IMEF is further integrated with the Central and North West Regions Water Quality Program, a greater understanding of the linkages between catchment management practices and processes affecting water quality and biotic response to river flows may be achieved.

		Such incidents were recorded as a shepherd being speared, an Aboriginal man killed, an Aboriginal woman raped and cattle and sheep being speared and pellets of arsenic were put in damper given to Aboriginal people.
		The shortage of food caused by the occupation and destruction of the river environment by the squatters and their cattle caused a great deal of conflicts.
		A group of 100 Aboriginal warriors were reported to then have crossed the Nandewer Range and began harrassing squatters on the Lower Namoi River.

		"At present there is no flow in the Barwon River at Walgett and this flow of the Namoi will benefit landholders and the environment, especially during this extreme drought.
		"Regulated Namoi River irrigators have the benefit of this water availability, because of the good performance of the dams, despite the drought we are experiencing throughout inland Australia."

		Flooding in the Macquarie River lead to major sandbagging operations and evacuations in the city of Bathurst and the village of Perthville to its south.
		In the Hunter River, flooding was complicated in the lower river by separate flood crests arriving this afternoon from lower Hunter tributaries, and a second peak forecast for Maitland tomorrow as upper Hunter flows arrived.
