Speech by MDBA's CEO Phillip Glyde delivered to 2018 Cotton Australia Conference, Gold Coast, 9 August.

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.

Local communities and visitors to the River Murray downstream of Hume Dam and Yarrawonga are advised that flows and river heights are likely to remain steady over the Easter weekend.

Results released today from the third full year of the Murray–Darling Basin Plan show steady progress towards implementation across a range of milestones.
