Independent, systems‑based evaluation of NSW’s flagship environmental water program, assessing efficiency, equity and ecological and cultural outcomes across multiple river, wetland and floodplain systems. The work refined program logic, integrated diverse stakeholder perspectives and delivered actionable recommendations for the next phase of Basin‑scale water management.
