  • Submission: Inquiry Into Climate Change and the Australian
    September 2008 NSW Submission to the Senate Standing Committee on Rural and Regional Affairs and Transport Inquiry into water management in the Coorong and Lower Lakes NSW Water Legislation The management of the surface water and groundwater resources of NSW, including the allocation of water entitlements, is undertaken under the Water Act, 1912 and the Water Management Act 2000. The NSW Government is progressively transitioning water management from the Water Act 1912 to the Water Management Act 2000. The vast majority of water extraction in the NSW portion of the Murray-Darling Basin is covered by statutory water sharing plans under the Water Management Act 2000. The legislation and rules in the water sharing plans provide the framework for the implementation of the COAG-agreed water reforms, including: • the provision of water entitlements specifically for the environment; • the separation of water entitlements from land; and • clearly identified tradeable water entitlements. The priority for water sharing under the legislation is: Priority 1 Water for the environment and basic landholder rights (e.g. domestic and stock rights); Priority 2 Town water supply, domestic and stock and major utility licences (e.g. power generation, major urban water supply); Priority 3 High security licences (e.g. for permanent plantings); Priority 4 General security or unregulated river licences (e.g. for irrigation of annual crops); and Priority 5 Supplementary licences (e.g. to access high flows). However, in times of severe water shortage the priority of water for domestic purposes (i.e. either under a basic landholder right or licence) is elevated above the environment.

Alought the percentage may seem small as an average (Approx. 17% per annum) large flows have at times contributed markedly in times when the Lower Murray River had periods of low or no flow. This was especially evident during the Millennium Drought when a large flow was shepherded through to the Lower Lakes and Coorong thereby averting what would have been a natural disaster and the possibility of Adelaide running out of water.

  • Menindee Lakes, the Lower Darling River and Darling Anabranch)
    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.
