Social Impact Assessment of Possible Increased Environmental Flow Allocations to the River Murray System, Stage 1, Volume 2 Disclaimer This report has been generated as part of the Living Murray initiative. Its contents do not represent the position of the Murray-Darling Basin Commission. It is presented as a document which informed discussion for improved management of the Basin’s natural resources in November 2003. Preparation of the social impact assessment scoping and profiling studies preceded the Living Murray First Step decision and the signing on 25 June 2004 at the Council of Australian Governments meeting of the Intergovernmental Agreement on Addressing Water Overallocation and Achieving Environmental Objectives in the Murray- Darling Basin. The communiqué from this COAG meeting is provided at www.coag.gov.au. These decisions provide the framework under which $500m will be invested by governments over 5 years to begin addressing water overallocation in the Murray-Darling Basin and achieve specific environmental outcomes in the Murray-Darling Basin. The first priority for this investment will be water recovery for six significant ecological assets first identified by the Murray-Darling Basin Ministerial Council in November 2003: the Barmah-Millewa Forest, Gunbower and Koondrook-Perricoota Forests, Hattah Lakes, Chowilla floodplain, the Lindsay-Wallpolla system, the Murray Mouth, Coorong and Lower Lakes, and the River Murray Channel. The water will come from a matrix of options with a priority for on-farm initiatives, efficiency gains, infrastructure improvements and rationalisation, and market based approaches, and purchase of water from willing sellers, rather than by way of compulsory acquisition. Consequently, the assumptions that were made to enable the social impact assessment scoping and profiling studies to be undertaken in mid 2003, while reasonable at the time, have been overtaken by these decisions and the consequential benefits that will flow from them. As such, whilst being an important contribution, this report cannot fully and accurately represent the social issues arising from the Living Murray initiative.

It is important to note that little information was available to the consultants on the Environmental Flow Reference Points (EFRP) in terms of the environmental response that would occur, how the water would be recovered for the river system, and the nature of the economic impacts associated with water recovered for the river.

  • River Murray Weekly Report for the Week Ending Wednesday, 20 February 2019
    River Murray Weekly Report For the week ending Wednesday, 20 February 2019 Trim Ref: D19 8405 Rainfall and inflows There was little to no rainfall across the Murray-Darling Basin this week, with only small patches of light rainfall recorded in New South Wales and Queensland (Map 1). Map 1 - Murray-Darling Basin rainfall map week ending 20 February 2019 (Source: Bureau of Meteorology). In comparison to the previous week where tributaries increased with widespread rainfall, most upper Murray tributaries have receded with dry conditions this week. The flow in the upper Mitta Mitta River at Hinnomunjie fell from 190 ML/day to the current flow near 140 ML/day; likewise the upper Murray at Biggara eased from 160 to 100 ML/day. Downstream of Hume Reservoir, inflow from the Kiewa River at Bandiana averaged 210 ML/day, while the Ovens River flow reduced from 340 ML/day to 240 ML/day through the week at Wangaratta.

  • Myth & the Murray
    Myth & the Murray Measuring the real state of the river environment by Jennifer Marohasy We have all heard about the declining health of the Murray River, including poor water quality, dying red gums and threats to the continued survival of the Murray cod—this is the popular view in urban Australia. Along the river, communities believe that the end of commercial fishing, a substantial restocking effort, improvements in on-farm practices and the construction of salt-interception schemes have resulted in a healthier river. The available evidence supports the local view and suggests that, with the possible exception of native fish stocks, the river environment is healthy. Many of the scientific reports that have led to the perception that the Murray River is in poor health make their comparisons with a natural river, which is one without dams and locks, one that gushes and then runs dry. Such comparisons are misplaced. If the ultimate objective of the conservation movement is a natural river, then we must reject the cultural heritage and economic wealth created by the engineering works, including the Snowy Mountains Scheme. In its natural state, the Murray River could not provide for Adelaide’s water needs and it could not support the irrigation industries that have made the region the food bowl of Australia.
