Hear from Regional Engagement Officer (REO) Shona Whitfield on how the Queensland flood waters journeyed through her patch of the Basin.

The research focused on improving understanding of low flow requirements of environmental assets and values in a climate change context and developing a conservation prioritisation method to identify priority locations for future management decisions.

The Sustainable Diversion Limit (SDL) Accounting and Reporting Framework 2025 summarises the key accounting concepts and outlines the roles and responsibilities in assessment of SDL compliance.

​​This study explored the ability to develop reference curves to describe exemplar age class distributions for key floodplain tree species. ​ ​​Understanding the characteristics of tree populations, such as their density, age structure, rates of recruitment (germination and establishment of new trees), growth, and mortality (death rates), are important to understanding the likelihood that tree populations are sustainable. This includes understanding the role of these processes on age class distributions. Developing reference curves – tools that help to define the acceptable limits of parameters such as age class distributions – helps us to determine the likelihood that tree populations are sustainable or may require management intervention to promote recruitment or old growth for example. ​

Lake Victoria (Tar-Ru) is a naturally occurring shallow freshwater lake approximately 60 kilometres downstream of the Murray–Darling Junction in south–western New South Wales, close to the South Australian and Victorian borders.

One of the primary objectives of the Murray–Darling Basin Plan is to ensure the water resources of the Basin are shared between all water users in a sustainable way; striking a balance and maintaining a healthy and productive system to sustainably support industries, the environment and communities.

You can now get all your water information from the one place.

The Basin Plan aims to strike a balance between access to water for Basin communities, while also providing water for the environment, for the benefit of all Australians.

The Basin Plan introduced a new water accounting and compliance framework based on sustainable diversion limits (SDL) that began on 1 July 2019.
