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.

​​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. ​

Located on the Mitta Mitta River in Victoria, about 80 kilometres south-east of Wodonga, sits Australia's tallest dam of its kind Dartmouth Dam.

History has never forgotten Wentworth in southwestern New South Wales (NSW). Now locals are working to preserve some of that history.

The Senator JS Collings Trophy is awarded each year. It goes to the best maintained asset in the River Murray system. These assets include major storages, locks, weirs or barrages.

The 2024 JS Collings Trophy for excellence in maintaining major water management infrastructure on the River Murray has been awarded to Lake Victoria (Tar-Ru).

Close to 200 Basin industry and community members recently visited Hume Dam as part of River Reflections in June 2024. Here’s what they learnt.

The operations and assets of the River Murray system, including Dartmouth Dam, are controlled by a joint venture made up of the Australian, New South Wales, Victorian and South Australian governments.

2023 MDBA graduates share highlights, challenges and where to next.

Water infrastructure is a term which can apply to a range of assets: dams, weirs, flood levees and embankments, fishways, regulators, pump stations, managed aquifer recharge ponds and injection wells and desalination plants.
