    THE LIVING MURRAY Information Paper No. 10 IPTLM0010 Health of the River Murray Menindee Lakes, the Lower Darling River and Darling Anabranch) Contents Environmental assets within the river zone Current condition of environmental assets Reasons why some environmental assets have declined in value What can be done to restore environmental values? Existing environmental flows initiatives The system-wide perspective References Introductory Note Please note: The contents of this publication do not purport to represent the position of the Murray-Darling Basin Commission. The intention of this paper is to inform discussion for the improvement of the management of the Basin’s natural resources. 2 Environmental assets within the river zone The lower Darling River system is located at the downstream end of the River Murray system in NSW and is marked by Wentworth to the south and Menindee to the north. It encompasses the Menindee Lakes system, the Darling River below Menindee and the Great Anabranch of the Darling River (referred to hereafter as the Darling Anabranch) and associated lakes. These are iconic riverine and lake systems within the Murray-Darling Basin. In addition, a vital tributary and operating system feeds the lower River Murray. The climate of the area is semi-arid with an annual average rainfall of 200 mm at Menindee (Auld and Denham 2001) and a high potential annual evaporation of 2,335 mm (Westbrooke et al. 2001). It is hot in summer (5–46oC) and mild to cold in winter (-5–26oC). In particular, the lower Darling River system is characterised by clusters of large floodplain lakes, 103 to 15,900 ha in size, located at Menindee and along the Darling Anabranch.
