Flooding contributes to major improvements in the long-term health of the Murray–Darling Basin and dissolved organic carbon-rich water (blackwater) can result via natural processes.

Over recent years there have been significant changes in water use on the River Murray between Barmah and the South Australian border. This study investigates the changes historical data shows over time.

Complementary measures include a range of non-flow natural resource management activities such as installation of fishways, fish diversion screens, release of the carp herpes virus, investments to address cold water pollution and riparian management activities and habitat restoration. 

This document is the last annual implementation report of the Basin Salinity Management Strategy (BSMS) that was implemented by the MDBA and Basin governments from 2001 to 2015.

This report examines the impact of various levels of water recovery on floodplain grazing using a simulation model.

This documentation provides an explanation of the land use models and different formulae applied with accompanying spreadsheets.

Managing flows, wherever possible, can help to mitigate salinity, turbidity, fluctuating water temperature and dissolved oxygen shortages.

The Murray–Darling Basin Authority’s (MDBA) position statement for managing groundwater in the Murray–Darling Basin outlines the expectations of the MDBA in regard to sustainable management of groundwater resources.

The Salinity Impact Rapid Assessment Tool (SIMRAT) is one of a suite of tools developed for estimating salinity impacts of accountable actions to support Basin Salinity Management Strategy (BSMS) objectives. SIMRAT was developed for the Murray– Darling Basin Commission (MDBC) and accredited in 2005 for assessing salinity debits due to water trades to greenfield irrigation sites within the Pilot Interstate Water Trading area (i.e. Mallee region of Vic, NSW, SA).
