New research investigates how to include future environmental change in water runoff models

The Murray–Darling Basin Authority (MDBA) has today released its Constraints Relaxation Implementation Roadmap to guide governments in delivering projects that will maximise outcomes from environmental water use across the Basin.

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.

Located on the Mitta Mitta River in Victoria, about 80 kilometres south-east of Wodonga, sits Australia's tallest dam of its kind Dartmouth Dam.

In the Murray–Darling Basin connectivity amounts to one single idea, continuity of river flows. Delivery across the vast territory of the Basin will involve another kind of connectivity, of government with communities.

It’s not the most exciting name, but the Constraints Relaxation Implementation Roadmap is an important body of work being developed this year by the Murray–Darling Basin Authority (MDBA).

The MDBA is partnering with states to create new river modelling roles, enhancing capability and building a deeper understanding of the Basin.

The Senator JS Collings Trophy is awarded each year. It goes to the best maintained asset in the River Murray system. These assets include major storages, locks, weirs or barrages.

The 2024 JS Collings Trophy for excellence in maintaining major water management infrastructure on the River Murray has been awarded to Lake Victoria (Tar-Ru).

We're using the best available science and knowledge to help deliver a productive and healthy future for the interconnected rivers of the Murray–Darling Basin.
