Murray–Darling Basin Authority

We aim to achieve a healthy working Basin for the benefit of all Australians.
Basin in focus

Water for the environment

Healthy rivers keep us fed with high-quality produce, provide recreational and nature-based activities, and promote vibrant rural communities and businesses.

Catchments in the Basin

Each catchment in the Basin is a different size and has a varied climate, a different landscape, a diverse environment and different communities and industries that use water in different ways.
