Murray-Darling Basin Plan

The Murray-Darling Basin Plan is an Australian initiative aimed at managing the water resources of the Murray-Darling Basin, a vital agricultural region. It seeks to balance the needs of farmers, communities, and the environment by allocating water sustainably. The plan sets limits on how much water can be extracted for irrigation and includes measures to restore and maintain healthy rivers and wetlands. This approach aims to ensure that both economic activities and ecological health can thrive, promoting a resilient and sustainable future for the basin's diverse ecosystems and the people who rely on them.
