The aim of this academic centre is to address disturbances of different types at different scales in river systems. The
academic activities of the Centre will focus on identifying ways to efficiently manage availability of the River for
human uses while also identifying linkages between the River’s flow and quality and native aquatic and riparian eco-
systems.
The objective of the program is to provide information support, public wide debate, and an opportunity to allow the
people to consider the possible consequences of interventions on the health of the rivers and enhance the potential for
cooperation in the management of the vital economic and ecological services the river provides through teaching and
research.
