New research investigates how to include future environmental change in water runoff models

This report presents a stocktake and analysis of completed, current and proposed activities and initiatives which focus on improving longitudinal surface water connectivity across the northern Murray–Darling Basin (the northern Basin) ‘to and through’ Menindee Lakes. Longitudinal connectivity along and between river reaches is critical for maintaining healthy ecosystems and supports a wide range of social, cultural and economic values.

The Murray–Darling Basin Authority (MDBA) has reassured communities the storages and weirs are well positioned to meet irrigation, community, and environmental needs this summer.

For a long time, river modellers have faced the challenges of tracking water movement across landscapes. This task becomes more complex when different river catchments use different models. Along with jurisdictions, we are in the process of improving these systems and tools.

The sustainable use of groundwater is vital to ensuring the health of the Murray–Darling Basin.

The MDBA is partnering with states to create new river modelling roles, enhancing capability and building a deeper understanding of the Basin.

Despite a dry start to the water year with inflows well below average, the total active storage volume for the Murray–Darling Basin remains high at 6,770 gigalitres (GL).

We're using the best available science and knowledge to help deliver a productive and healthy future for the interconnected rivers of the Murray–Darling Basin.

A suite of options to improve the movement of water through the Barmah–Millewa Reach of the Murray River.

The Barmah Forest in Victoria and the Millewa Forest in New South Wales include wetlands of international significance. Report cards are updated every year.
