In 2021–22, the focus of water managers will be to optimise the outcomes of recent flows with a focus on creating opportunities for northern basin recovery.
In 2021–22, water managers will continue to build on the gains of previous years through the effective and efficient management of water for the environment.

An agreement between the Australian and NSW governments at the time of its purchase requires the NSW Government to modify the infrastructure currently used for water management at Toorale for environmental purposes.
In 2021–22, water managers in the Barwon–Darling will support remaining populations of native fish. Water management will provide opportunities for fish to breed and disperse into refuge habitat, supplying food resources.
Water managers will focus their efforts on supporting native fish populations in the Severn, Dumaresq, Macintyre and upper Barwon rivers. Water for the environment may be delivered to provide a low connection flow along the Dumaresq and Macintyre–Barwon system.
This strategy ensures the Saving our Species program is underpinned by rigorous scientific evidence and guides the strategic delivery of priority research leading to improved outcomes for threatened species.
