After water is used some of it can return back to the river system – this water is known as a ‘return flow’.

In response to the declining flow capacity, the increasing risks, and the recommendation that a range of intervention measures be investigated, the MDBA instigated the Barmah–Millewa Feasibility Study (BMFS). Six options were investigated as part of the Barmah–Millewa Feasibility Study.

Sam O’Rafferty is an emerging young leader who is passionate about solving water efficiency problems for growers.

Overland flow refers to water that runs across the land after rainfall, flooding, or after it rises to the surface naturally from underground. Capturing this water on a floodplain is referred to as overland flow development or floodplain harvesting.

The Murray–Darling Basin Authority (MDBA) operates the River Murray to share water between New South Wales, Victoria and South Australia, as required under the Murray–Darling Basin Agreement. To undertake this work the MDBA has built, maintained and operated a hydrological model of the River Murray.

The delivery of water from the major storages in the Upper Murray to irrigators throughout the Basin can be challenging. There are a number of constraints that impact water delivery to below the Barmah Reach, such as the length of time required to deliver water and the amount of water that can be delivered at any one time.

New telecommunications tools are changing the way Australian rice is grown.

WaterNSW have released a package of information to help explain the detail of floodplain harvesting.

Australia has a variable climate – it is a country of droughts and flooding rain. This means that water management needs to be adaptable.

Systems and procedures to keep track of water used in the South Australian Riverland are in good shape overall, according to the latest audit by the Murray–Darling Basin Authority of state government water metering practices.
