The Murray–Darling Basin is one of the largest river systems in the world, but also one of the driest. Home to more than two million people (including 18% of Australia’s Aboriginal people) this 14% of mainland Australia accounts for around half of our irrigated agricultural production. The Basin plays an important role in supporting biodiversity. It includes 16 internationally significant wetland sites, and supports over 60 species of fish and 98 species of waterbirds. It also contains Australia’s largest river red gum forest. The Basin Plan is about addressing significant environmental decline that has been brought about by over-use of the Basin’s water resource, combined with recurrent drought.
