(1) An ecological outcome for surface water is to provide a flow regime—

(a) to maintain delivery of freshwater, sediment, nutrients and organic matter to the estuaries of watercourses; and

(b) to maintain the brackish water habitat in the estuaries.

(2) Also, an ecological outcome for surface water is to protect and improve the ecology of the Pioneer River estuary by reducing the frequency and duration of periods of no flow to the estuary.
