Satellite imagery plays a very important role when supporting compliance activities, providing a snapshot of the broad landscape, which repeats regularly and provides consistent information over scales as large as the Murray-Darling Basin. It allows investigation into how river flows behave, both historically and currently.

We continue to develop and use hydrologic models to inform policy, Basin Plan compliance activities, management and operations of rivers in the Murray–Darling Basin.

This documentation provides an explanation of the land use models and different formulae applied with accompanying spreadsheets.

In 2012, Basin state governments asked the MDBA to develop a Constraints Management Strategy to investigate how water can get to where it’s needed, when it’s needed while avoiding or mitigating impacts to riparian landholders, communities and industries. 

This report summarises the findings for one part of the northern basin review: an assessment of the ability of various water recovery scenarios to achieve environmental outcomes.

Goondiwindi now has its own weather station thanks to a Murray–Darling Basin Authority (MDBA) project that gives locals a full picture of conditions so they can plan for the future.
