Hear from Regional Engagement Officer (REO) Shona Whitfield on how the Queensland flood waters journeyed through her patch of the Basin.

The research focused on improving understanding of low flow requirements of environmental assets and values in a climate change context and developing a conservation prioritisation method to identify priority locations for future management decisions.

​​This study explored the ability to develop reference curves to describe exemplar age class distributions for key floodplain tree species. ​ ​​Understanding the characteristics of tree populations, such as their density, age structure, rates of recruitment (germination and establishment of new trees), growth, and mortality (death rates), are important to understanding the likelihood that tree populations are sustainable. This includes understanding the role of these processes on age class distributions. Developing reference curves – tools that help to define the acceptable limits of parameters such as age class distributions – helps us to determine the likelihood that tree populations are sustainable or may require management intervention to promote recruitment or old growth for example. ​

Sustainable diversion limits are how much water, on average, can be used in the Basin by towns and communities, farmers and industries.

The MDBA was at the Riverina Field Days recently to share with, and learn from, the local community.

Food Next Door Co-op and local water owners support Mildura’s landless migrants and refugees to do small-scale regenerative farming.

Sam O’Rafferty is an emerging young leader who is passionate about solving water efficiency problems for growers.

New telecommunications tools are changing the way Australian rice is grown.

I travelled to many interesting places in my journey across the Murray–Darling Basin, from snow-capped peaks to desert sands, and flooded wetlands to rich green crops, and all the way to where the rivers meet the sea.

Thanks to a new outlook tool, farmers now have access to extreme climate condition information beyond the traditional 7-day weather forecast.
