SDL assessment data: Monitoring condition and confidence results

This data forms part of the data set used in the assessment of whether the Sustainable Diversion Limits (SDLs) continue to reflect an environmentally sustainable level of take (ESLT) to inform the 2026 Discussion Paper. Further information on its development and use can be found in The SDL Assessment: Surface Water Technical Methods, Murray‒Darling Basin Authority.

This data provides the monitoring condition and confidence results for the 6 environmental themes (flows and connectivity, ecosystem function, waterbirds, native fish, native vegetation and other species) for each of the 29-surface water SDL resource units, note that Coorong, Lower Lakes and Murray Mouth has been assessed independently.

The file contains three tabs:

1. Elicitation monitoring results

2. Monitoring results after implementation of the data paucity investigation

3. Monitoring results after the science synthesis process
