Researchers have discovered near-extinct Darling River snails living in the wild.

The hydrology theme enhanced hydrological knowledge and advanced modelling capacity to inform water resources management and planning in the Murray–Darling Basin.

The hydrology theme enhanced hydrological knowledge and advanced modelling capacity to inform water resources management and planning in the Murray–Darling Basin.

This report documents progress with Basin Plan implementation activities from 1 July 2023 to 30 June 2024.

The Basin Plan sets sustainable diversion limits (SDL). This is how much water can be used in the Murray–Darling Basin by towns and communities, farmers and industries, while keeping the rivers and the environment healthy. To provide flexibility, the Basin Plan includes a mechanism to adjust sustainable diversion limits.

In 2024, we tested our early thinking on the Basin Plan Review with stakeholders and communities, and shared what we heard.

To identify, evaluate, and recommend opportunities to further improve flood forecasting and management.

Long-term monitoring in the Murray–Darling Basin is vital. It helps us understand impacts on biodiversity over time.

Each year, as part of the Basin Plan's monitoring and evaluation program, Basin governments report on how they are implementing different elements of the Basin Plan.

Basin state governments develop water resource plans. We work closely with Basin state governments to ensure water resource plans meet the requirements of the Basin Plan, and address the local requirements of water resource management.
