This report discusses a novel technique using DNA to detect macroinvertebrate organisms in water samples.

As we implement the Basin Plan, it is important the community can see that people and organisations are meeting their obligations. For this purpose, the MDBA, Basin States and the Commonwealth Environmental Water Holder have agreed to publish Statements of Assurance (SoAs) each year.

This report includes the River Murray revised Water Quality Monitoring Program to characterise the overall water quality changes over time.

This report investigates the vegetation and shoreline sediment monitoring data collected at Lake Victoria (1998-2012).

The River Murray Biological Monitoring Program is of international significance.

This report examined the effectiveness of using waterbirds as an indicator of wetland and river health in the Murray-Darling Basin.

This literature review addresses the topic of the creation of suitable habitat for waterbirds through retaining floodwater on floodplains or flow enhancement management interventions with particular reference to six hypotheses identified by the Murray–Darling Basin Authority as key areas for greater understanding.

This publication reviews food web ecology in the Murray–Darling Basin; develops conceptual models linking flow enhancement to food source response in both estuarine and freshwater systems; and identifies priorities for research and monitoring programs to examine ecosystem, productivity and food web response to flooding.

Produced as a requirement under Schedule E to the Murray–Darling Basin Agreement, the Water Audit and Monitoring report provides information on Cap compliance, water use for consumptive and environmental purposes, climatic overview, water availability through allocations, off-allocations and water trading, storage losses, and groundwater use for 2010-11.

This report analyses the phytoplankton data set for 1980-2008 and provides information for enhanced monitoring and management of algae in the River Murray.
