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.
