Fig. 8

The take scenarios required to protect the distribution of each fish species under three management objectives which are < 5% loss in the distribution of the species (i.e., water take causes the species to be lost in < 5% of the pools where it would normally occur), < 10% loss in distribution, and < 15% loss in distribution. (a–c) Show the maximum depths required to protect fish from direct pumping in the main channel, and (d–f) show the percent of water take required to protect fish on the floodplain from floodplain harvesting (d–f).
