A technical report of the Australian Geoscience Data Cube (AGDC) pilot project. Assessing suitability of remote sensing data to support policy and management decisions.

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.

The reports assess the health of river red gum and black box forest and woodland at each of The Living Murray icon sites during 2015.

The Basin Plan requires the Murray–Darling Basin Authority to conduct an assessment of Monitoring, Evaluation Reporting (MER) relevant to Chapter 13 of the Basin Plan.

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).

The General Review of Salinity Management established the current understanding of the salinity risk to the shared water resources in the Murray–Darling Basin and assessed the future salinity risk within the context of a changed flow regime anticipated by the implementation of the Basin Plan.

The purpose of the Aboriginal Waterways Assessment (AWA) program was to develop a tool that consistently measures and prioritises river and wetland health so that Traditional Owners can more effectively participate in water planning and management in the Basin.
