URL: https://www.mdba.gov.au/sites/default/files/publications/draft-basin-wide-environmental-watering-strategy.pdf
This asset is a draft of the Basin-wide Environmental Watering Strategy.
The Murray–Darling Basin Authority (MDBA) has drafted the Strategy with the intent to guide the planning and delivery of water for the environment at the Basin scale over the long term. In doing so, the Strategy has been reviewed and is published to:
-
Outline water management principles and strategies to maximise the outcomes that can be achieved from active management of flows in the Basin.
-
Outline the Expected Environmental Outcomes, as a quantitative metric, to be achieved by environmental water management at the Basin-scale for 4 themes (river flows and connectivity, native vegetation, waterbirds and native fish).
-
Identify complementary outcomes for First Nations to be achieved by environmental water management.
-
Describe how the MDBA, the Commonwealth Environmental Water Holder (CEWH) and the Basin states should implement this Strategy.
-
Outline how the MDBA identifies Basin annual environmental watering priorities, and identify future opportunities for improvement and review of the Strategy.
