The research focused on improving understanding of low flow requirements of environmental assets and values in a climate change context and developing a conservation prioritisation method to identify priority locations for future management decisions.

The hydrology theme enhanced hydrological knowledge and advanced modelling capacity to inform water resources management and planning in the Murray–Darling Basin.

​​This study explored the ability to develop reference curves to describe exemplar age class distributions for key floodplain tree species. ​ ​​Understanding the characteristics of tree populations, such as their density, age structure, rates of recruitment (germination and establishment of new trees), growth, and mortality (death rates), are important to understanding the likelihood that tree populations are sustainable. This includes understanding the role of these processes on age class distributions. Developing reference curves – tools that help to define the acceptable limits of parameters such as age class distributions – helps us to determine the likelihood that tree populations are sustainable or may require management intervention to promote recruitment or old growth for example. ​

More than 170 scientists and policy makers attended the Murray–Darling Water and Environment Research Program Symposium.

Emergency contact information for when there is an increased chance of flooding across the Murray–Darling Basin. 

The Murray–Darling Basin Authority has offices and staff located across the Basin, giving us a front row seat to how waterways are responding to prevailing conditions. Check out the photos our staff have snapped of the receding flood waters during the past month.

Two important reports have found the MDBA is using innovation and adaptation to meet the challenges of delivering water for the environment.
