The Murray-Darling Basin Authority (MDBA) is an Australian government agency responsible for managing the water resources of the Murray-Darling Basin. This region is vital for agriculture, ecosystems, and communities, covering parts of New South Wales, Victoria, and South Australia. The MDBA aims to ensure sustainable water use while balancing the needs of various stakeholders. The MDBA develops and implements the Murray-Darling Basin Plan, which outlines strategies for water allocation, conservation, and environmental protection. This plan is essential for maintaining the health of the basin's rivers and wetlands, supporting both the economy and the environment.
