A DPI/DNR Perspective of NAFE • DPI run a field based program call Key Sites. Its Objective is to collected detailed field measurements to validate models. (8 sites across NSW) • NAFE falls generally into this category, and both projects have potential to value add to each other. • Both departments have a history of undertaking fundamental research programs. • DPI/DNR pride themselves on being good hosts to other organisations researching in our catchments.

A DPI/DNR Perspective of NAFE
• DPI run a field based program call Key Sites. Its Objective is to collected detailed field measurements to validate models. (8 sites across NSW)
• NAFE falls generally into this category, and both projects have potential to value add to each other.
• Both departments have a history of undertaking fundamental research programs.
• DPI/DNR pride themselves on being good hosts to other organisations researching in our catchments.

Livingstone Creek (main field site area).
Possible areas of research interest
• Soil moisture availability throughout the whole catchment and how the Key sites point measurements can be extrapolated. (ie potential to address scaling issues).
• Can the method detect discharge or saline areas.• Difference between vegetation impacts on soil moisture
distribution.
