More than 100 researchers from 17 scientific institutions across Australia are using science and technology to build knowledge of the Murray–Darling Basin.

Watch our webinar for the latest on the Barmah-Millewa Feasibility Study.

Version 3 of the Murray–Darling Basin Water Information Portal was this month released with a range of new features to improve the platform.

Blue-green algae occur naturally in rivers, lakes and dams. Under certain conditions, blue-green algae multiply quickly, creating an ‘algal bloom’ that can decrease water quality.

Flows in the River Murray system vary widely depending on a range of factors, including rainfall, inflows, evaporation and demand for water. We summarise this information each month in the below reports. This page is an archive of reports for previous months.

Independent reviews and assessments of water management in the Basin have been commissioned and undertaken.

The Australian Government is working with the New South Wales and Queensland governments to implement a suite of water management tools – the Northern Basin Toolkit.

Scientists and volunteers are working together to re-establish the southern bell frog in South Australia's Lower Lakes.

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

Water delivery shortfalls are rare but occur when available water cannot be delivered to users when they want it. For example, it could happen because demand exceeds the physical capacity of rivers and channels to carry the water, or when demands for water unexpectedly spike and there's not enough time to release additional water from dams to meet the demand.
