Lake Victoria (Tar-Ru) is located in south-western New South Wales and is a key water resource for South Australia.

The Murray–Darling Basin Authority met on 10 and 11 September 2019 in Canberra against the backdrop of worsening drought in the Basin, with the Bureau of Meteorology advising that winter this year had been the driest since 1982 and the fourth driest on record. These conditions are reflected in extremely low storage levels in the northern Basin and low inflows continuing in the southern Basin.

The first maps which record Aboriginal land and water cultural activities across areas of the northern Murray–Darling Basin have been handed to traditional owners following a two-year Murray–Darling Basin Authority (MDBA) project to document these activities.

Traditional Owners are helping water managers to combine local observations with real-time weather data. This plays a role in understanding rainfall and flow patterns in remote areas across the Murray–Darling Basin where Bureau of Meteorology data is limited.

The Aboriginal Partnerships Action Plan 2017 guides how the MDBA obtains and implements Aboriginal input to managing water and improving the condition of Country in the Murray–Darling basin.

The purpose of the Aboriginal Waterways Assessment (AWA) program was to develop a tool that consistently measures and prioritises river and wetland health so that Traditional Owners can more effectively participate in water planning and management in the Basin.

There is a month left before submissions on the proposed Basin Plan amendments close and the Murray–Darling Basin Authority (MDBA) is encouraging submissions from the community.
