The Murray–Darling Basin Authority’s (MDBA) position statement on floodplain harvesting outlines the expectations of the MDBA and how this water use occurs.

The Salinity Impact Rapid Assessment Tool (SIMRAT) is one of a suite of tools developed for estimating salinity impacts of accountable actions to support Basin Salinity Management Strategy (BSMS) objectives. SIMRAT was developed for the Murray– Darling Basin Commission (MDBC) and accredited in 2005 for assessing salinity debits due to water trades to greenfield irrigation sites within the Pilot Interstate Water Trading area (i.e. Mallee region of Vic, NSW, SA).

The General Review of Salinity Management established the current understanding of the salinity risk to the shared water resources in the Murray–Darling Basin and assessed the future salinity risk within the context of a changed flow regime anticipated by the implementation of the Basin Plan.

This report provides a summary of feedback received during consultation on development of the Constraints Management Strategy, including feedback received throughout the public comment period on the draft Strategy and an outline of how the MDBA has responded in finalising the Strategy.

This list is updated as new projects are registered. Contact the relevant state water authority for details on individual projects.

Guidelines for supply and constraint measure feasibility studies have been developed by Basin jurisdictions.

River users may notice a darker water colour in parts of the River Murray and its tributaries over the coming weeks.

This report shows technical work and information that we have collected through our talks with stakeholders from the Murrumbidgee since early 2013. This report was first released as a draft for community feedback in December of 2014.

In June 2015, the Australian Senate set up a select committee to look at the Murray–Darling Basin Plan.

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.
