Under the sustainable diversion limit adjustment mechanism (SDLAM), a range of measures were brought forward by Basin state governments that were expected to deliver equivalent environmental outcomes and keep 605 gigalitres (GL) of water in consumptive use.
Updates on the progress of these measures are provided in the Murray–Darling Basin Authority (MDBA) progress and assurance reporting, and the current status is reported below.
Map of notified sustainable diversion limit adjustment mechanism (SDLAM) measures as at 19 January 2024. Locations are indicative only. Commonwealth efficiency projects are not included in this map.
