With Easter falling within the irrigation period, there is an improved likelihood of river flows and heights remaining stable—which is good news for local communities and visitors to the River Murray downstream of Hume Dam and Yarrawonga looking to enjoy river recreation over the holiday period.

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.

River users may notice a darker water colour in parts of the River Murray and its tributaries over the coming weeks.

People along the Murray and Darling rivers near Wentworth are reminded that the Lock 10 weir pool is lower than usual, as efforts continue to reduce high salinity levels in the Darling River.

The Sustainable Rivers Audit (SRA) is the most comprehensive assessment of the ecological health of rivers in the Murray–Darling Basin.

The Mitta Mitta Biological Monitoring Program was initiated in 1998 to monitor the condition of the biological communities of the lower Mitta Mitta River, and to investigate the impacts of Dartmouth Dam on overall health of the Mitta Mitta River.

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

This study was commissioned to understand the processes and thinking of responses to the risk of post flood salt mobilisation from floodplains of the River Murray.
