New research investigates future habitat for water based animals and plants 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.

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

Innovative oral history research in the Basin was presented at the Oral History Victoria Biennial Conference in Melbourne last month.

How bushfires will impact water availability in a changing climate.

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 Murray–Darling Water and Environmental Research Program (MD–WERP) has published research reports, tactical project reports, program documents, newsletters and progress updates.

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.
