Prior to the environmental watering program, Namoi Street was dominated by samphire, young lignum, saltbush and the odd black box sapling along the high floodplain edge of the site.
The site first received environmental water in 2017, and has received water every year following, apart from 2020-21. As a result of the watering, the soil is becoming less saline and vegetation is regenerating at the site, which is bordered by the vineyard blocks of Renmark North.
Monitoring has found 7 frog species at Namoi Street, including the vulnerable Southern Bell Frog. Bird surveys have found 25 waterbird species and 29 woodland bird species. Many key native plants have been recovering at the site as a result of environmental watering, including nardoo, a key aquatic floodplain species.
