A summary of potential threats to water quality in the Murray–Darling Basin's waterways.

Erosion is a natural process that has shaped rivers for millennia. Now, human activities are influencing river erosion too.

A summary of potential threats to water quality in the Murray–Darling Basin's waterways.

Water is used for a wide range of purposes across the Murray−Darling Basin. Water from rivers, lakes and underground is used by communities, farmers and industries.

Salinity is a significant management challenge and poses ongoing environmental, social and economic risks in the Murray–Darling Basin.

The Basin Salinity Management 2030 (BSM2030) strategy was agreed by the Murray–Darling Basin Ministerial Council in 2015. The strategy commits the partner governments to accept shared responsibility for continuing action to manage salinity in the shared water resources of the Basin.

There’s a limit to the amount of water that can be taken from the rivers for towns, industries and farmers in the Murray–Darling Basin.

Long-term diversion limit equivalent (LTDLE) factors (also known as the Cap factors) were established to accurately assess how much water has been recovered for the environment, and to guide future water recovery decisions.

The Murray−Darling Basin Authority (MDBA) will set up an independent review panel to undertake a review of each Basin state’s planning assumptions and revised Long Term Diversion Limit Equivalence (LTDLE) factors.
