WETLAND 3.19 Restoring the Balance: Guidelines for Managing Floodgates and Drainage Systems on Coastal Floodplains. This 47‐page publication was jointly produced by New South Wales Agriculture and New South Wales Fisheries, and provides guidelines for determining best management practice for flood mitigation drainage systems on coastal floodplains.
