MDBA (Murray-Darling Basin Authority)

The Murray-Darling Basin Authority (MDBA) is an Australian government agency responsible for managing the Murray-Darling Basin’s water resources. Their main goal is to balance water use for agriculture, communities, and the environment, ensuring sustainable and healthy rivers. They develop plans, set water delivery rules, and oversee water allocations to protect the basin’s ecosystems while supporting economic activities. MDBA works collaboratively with states and stakeholders to maintain the basin’s environmental health, prevent overuse, and adapt to changes like droughts and climate shifts, ensuring the long-term sustainability of this vital water system.
