The Environmental Scan 2013 identified threats, trends and emerging issues over the next decade (2012 – 2022) that are likely to create risks of non-compliance with Basin Plan (Plan) obligations by Parties to the Basin Plan.

The Sustainable Rivers Audit (SRA) is the most comprehensive assessment of the ecological health of rivers in the Murray–Darling Basin.

As we implement the Basin Plan, it is important the community can see that people and organisations are meeting their obligations. For this purpose, the MDBA, Basin States and the Commonwealth Environmental Water Holder have agreed to publish Statements of Assurance (SoAs) each year.

This report investigates the vegetation and shoreline sediment monitoring data collected at Lake Victoria (1998-2012).

Communities around Yarrawonga Weir are advised that the MDBA will lower Lake Mulwala  between late autumn and mid-winter to undertake structural works and manage the aquatic weed Egeria densa.

There are knowledge limitations regarding the response of native and exotic tree species to water management interventions.

This literature review comprises three major sections, each examining the effects of flooding on floodplain and aquatic plant habitats, plant life histories and vegetation community dynamics.

Produced as a requirement under Schedule E to the Murray–Darling Basin Agreement, the Water Audit and Monitoring report provides information on Cap compliance, water use for consumptive and environmental purposes, climatic overview, water availability through allocations, off-allocations and water trading, storage losses, and groundwater use for 2010-11.

This report presents the results of a LiDAR and Multispectral image project to collect information upon which to base 2 of the 5 themes of the Sustainable Rivers Audit (SRA): 1. Physical Form (of the river channels), and 2. Vegetation (the distribution of riparian foliage in three dimensions).
