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.

The final event celebrating the 20-year anniversary of The Living Murray program was recently held at the Barmah–Millewa Forest, recognising the achievements of one the largest river restoration projects in Australia.

​​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.

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 Annual Operating Outlook (AOO) describes the potential operating strategies under a range of possible climatic conditions that may occur over the water year.

More than 50 stakeholders recently attended a community event at Hattah-Kulkyne National Park celebrating 2 decades of The Living Murray (TLM) program.

New case studies highlight the intricate connection and involvement of First Nations in environmental water management

A pilot study led by Tati Tati Kaiejin has combined Tati Tati Science and western science to better understand climate-related risks at Margooya Lagoon in Victoria.

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