Past irrigation development has lead to rising salt loads in the River Murray and its floodplains, and reduced river flows. Even in the absence of any further development, river and floodplain salt loading as the result of this irrigation is anticipated to grow over the decades. Any new...

The aim of this report is to investigate policy options to encourage cost effective large scale revegetation in the River Murray Corridor that increases biodiversity, wind erosion and salinity benefits in ways that are considered to be equitable by the community.

The aim of this study is to assess the feasibility of different policy options for encouraging the large scale NRM actions required for achieving stated regional resource condition targets for NRM. To achieve this, the concept of systematic regional planning is developed to identify geographic...

A Market-Based Instrument Pilot Project. Report to the Onkaparinga Catchment Water Management Board.

Consultancy Report 2 for the Onkaparinga Catchment Water Management Board. This second report focuses on pricing water to manage the catchment water resources in a sustainable manner. A key conclusion of this report is that there are significant opportunities to improve resource use through...

In the mallee region of South Australia, clearing of native Eucalyptus vegetation and its replacement with annual crops and pastures has increased rates of acquifer recharge. This has led to increased flows of saline groundwater into the Murray River, with consequent increases in river salinity.
