"A report card into the A$13 billion Murray–Darling Basin Plan has found much
work is needed to ensure the ecology of Australia’s largest river system is
properly restored.
The assessment, by the Murray–Darling Basin Authority, is the most
comprehensive to date.
The authority says the river system is doing better now than it would have
without the plan, which aims to ensure sustainable water use for the
environment, communities and industries. But it found there is more to be done.
We are water, economics and environmental researchers with many years of
experience working in the Murray-Darling Basin. We agree more work is needed,
but with a more local focus, to restore the basin to health.
This requires more than just more water for the environment. Coordinated local
efforts to restore rivers and the surrounding land are desperately needed.
There’s so much more to the river system than just the water it contains."
