ISSN 1835-095X Cover Photo courtesy of the Department of Water, Land and Biodiversity Conservation (South Australia) Director’s Foreword Following the November 2006 Summit on the Southern Murray-Darling Basin, the Prime Minister and Murray-Darling Basin state Premiers commissioned CSIRO to report on sustainable yields of surface and groundwater systems within the Murray-Darling Basin. This report from the CSIRO Murray-Darling Basin Sustainable Yields Project details the assessments for one of 18 regions that encompass the Basin. The CSIRO Murray-Darling Basin Sustainable Yields Project is providing critical information on current and likely future water availability. This information will help governments, industry and communities consider the environmental, social and economic aspects of the sustainable use and management of the precious water assets of the Murray-Darling Basin. The project is the first rigorous attempt worldwide to estimate the impacts of catchment development, changing groundwater extraction, climate variability and anticipated climate change, on water resources at a basin-scale, explicitly considering the connectivity of surface and groundwater systems. To do this, we are undertaking the most comprehensive hydrologic modelling ever attempted for the entire Basin, using rainfall-runoff models, groundwater recharge models, river system models and groundwater models, and considering all upstream-downstream and surface- subsurface connections. We are complementing this work with detailed surface water accounting across the Basin – never before has surface water accounting been done in such detail in Australia, over such a large area, and integrating so many different data sources. To deliver on the project CSIRO is drawing on the scientific leadership and technical expertise of national and state government agencies in Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria, the Australian Capital Territory and South Australia, as well as the Murray-Darling Basin Commission and Australia’s leading industry consultants. The project is dependent on the cooperative participation of over 15 government and private sector organisations contributing over 100 individuals. The project has established a comprehensive but efficient process of internal and external quality assurance on all the work performed and all the results delivered, including advice from senior academic, industry and government experts. The project is led by the Water for a Healthy Country Flagship, a CSIRO-led research initiative which was set up to deliver the science required for sustainable management of water resources in Australia. The Flagship goal is to achieve a tenfold increase in the social, economic and environmental benefits from water by 2025. By building the capacity and capability required to deliver on this ambitious goal, the Flagship is ideally positioned to accept the challenge presented by this complex integrative project. CSIRO has given the Murray-Darling Basin Sustainable Yields Project its highest priority. It is in that context that I am very pleased and proud to commend this report to the Australian Government. Dr Tom Hatton Director, Water for a Healthy Country National Research Flagships CSIRO Executive Summary Background The CSIRO Murray-Darling Sustainable Yields Project is providing governments with a robust, basin-wide estimate of water availability on an individual catchment and aquifer basis, taking into account climate change and other risks. This report describes the assessments undertaken for the Eastern Mount Lofty Ranges (EMLR) region. While key aspects of the assessment and modelling methods used in the project are contained in this report, fuller methodological descriptions will be provided in a series of project technical reports. The Eastern Mount Lofty Ranges (EMLR) region in the far south west of the Murray-Darling Basin represents less than Executive Summar one percent of the total area of the Basin and is based around the Marne, Bremer and Finniss Rivers. These and numerous other rivers and streams drain into the River Murray and into Lake Alexandrina. The regional population is about 52,000 or slightly less than three percent of the Basin total, including the towns of Murray Bridge, Mount Barker and Strathalbyn. The predominant land uses are dryland cropping and grazing. Irrigated cropping – for hay production, vines and horticulture – accounts for less than three percent of the total area and there are only small areas of commercial plantation forestry. Current surface water diversions for irrigation make up less than 0.1 percent of the Basin total, and groundwater use is less than two percent of the Basin total. y About 80 percent of surface water used in the region is from the Murray River and Lake Alexandrina, and is considered in the reporting for the Murray region. About 8000 farm dams in the region capture runoff for stock, domestic and irrigation use; water use from these dams has been modelled. Relatively small volumes of groundwater are extracted in the region for stock and domestic use and for irrigation. Wetlands of national significance in the region include the Tookayerta and Finniss Catchments, the Marne River Mouth and Ambersun – West Swamp. Some of the rivers of the region discharge into The Coorong and Lakes Alexandrina and Albert Ramsar wetland site. Key messages The key messages relating to climate, surface water resources, groundwater and the environment are presented below for scenarios of current and possible future conditions. The scenarios assessed are defined in Chapter 1. Historical climate and current development (Scenario A) The average annual rainfall for the entire EMLR region is 463 mm and modelled average annual runoff is 30 mm. Rainfall is significantly higher in the winter half of the year and most of the runoff occurs in winter and early spring. The region generates about 0.5 percent of the total runoff of the Murray-Darling Basin, commensurate with its area. Average annual groundwater recharge is 64 GL/year. Average annual surface water availability is 120 GL/year across the Marne, Bremer, Angas, Finniss, Tookayerta and Currency catchments. Current average net diversions from farm dams (including net evaporation) across these catchments are around 11 GL/year – or about 9 percent of the average available water. The level of use varies however, across the six catchments
