The Barmah Choke water trade balance to start the 2025–26 water year will deliver a substantial trade opportunity for water users.

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

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.

Interstate water trading allows water users to trade water across state borders where river systems are connected. This allows irrigators to source water from, or sell water to, a broader range of users.

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

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.

In 2012 the Basin Plan listed estimates of the average annual volumes of floodplain harvesting as components of the baseline diversion limit (BDL) in some northern Basin sustainable diversion limit (SDL) resource units. The New South Wales ‘Healthy Floodplains Project’ includes work to enable calculation of re-estimates of BDLs associated with floodplain harvesting in these northern New South Wales SDL resource units. These volumes will contribute to re-estimates of the total BDLs for all forms of take.

It’s been 10 years since the implementation of the Basin Plan water trading rules in the Murray–Darling Basin.

The Barmah Choke water trade balance to start the 2024–25 water year will deliver trade opportunity for irrigators.
