Researchers have discovered near-extinct Darling River snails living in the wild.

New research investigates future habitat for water based animals and plants in the Murray–Darling Basin.

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.

Native fish species received a $639,000 boost in 2024, with 16 grants awarded to communities, government agencies, and environmental experts to improve river conditions.

Long-term monitoring in the Murray–Darling Basin is vital. It helps us understand impacts on biodiversity over time.

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.

As the Murray–Darling Basin Authority (MDBA) reflects on the year that was, we acknowledge it has been a year of hard work, achievement, and dedication – helping make the river system more sustainable for generations to come.

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

When establishing the Basin Plan it was determined that a portion of surface water and groundwater entitlements should be recovered and retained in the system, to improve the health of rivers, wetlands and groundwater systems. This is known as the water recovery target, and is a long-term average.

We’re celebrating the citizen scientists helping us to better understand biodiversity in the Basin.
