A program to strengthen the connections between the Murray–Darling Basin Authority (MDBA) and regional communities began this month with the appointment of an officer hosted by the South Australian Murray–Darling Basin Natural Resources Management (SAMDB NRM) Board.

The Murray–Darling Basin Authority (MDBA) will partner with local government, regional development and natural resource organisations to strengthen connections with communities across the basin.

The MDBA will be strengthening its crucial connections with people in the Murray–Darling Basin by establishing new positions based in communities across the basin.

The MDBA commissioned a project in 2013 to identify the types of rules and resource condition limits (RCLs) that jurisdictions could use in water resource plans to manage the site-specific impacts of groundwater take and to provide a suggested framework on how an assessment of the need for rules can be undertaken.

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.

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.

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.
