Researchers have discovered near-extinct Darling River snails living in the wild.

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. ​

This report presents a stocktake and analysis of completed, current and proposed activities and initiatives which focus on improving longitudinal surface water connectivity across the northern Murray–Darling Basin (the northern Basin) ‘to and through’ Menindee Lakes. Longitudinal connectivity along and between river reaches is critical for maintaining healthy ecosystems and supports a wide range of social, cultural and economic values.

Long-term monitoring in the Murray–Darling Basin is vital. It helps us understand impacts on biodiversity over time.

The Murray–Darling Basin Authority (MDBA) has reassured communities the storages and weirs are well positioned to meet irrigation, community, and environmental needs this summer.

The sustainable use of groundwater is vital to ensuring the health of the Murray–Darling Basin.

River Murray Data website redeveloped to improve user experience.

Despite a dry start to the water year with inflows well below average, the total active storage volume for the Murray–Darling Basin remains high at 6,770 gigalitres (GL).
