What AU Water Act 2007 requires
The AU Water Act 2007 (Cth) provides the federal framework for water resource management in Australia. The Act establishes the Murray-Darling Basin Authority (MDBA) as an independent statutory body; provides for the Basin Plan (2012) setting Sustainable Diversion Limits (SDLs) for surface water and groundwater in the Murray-Darling Basin (covering one-seventh of Australia's total water resources); environmental watering arrangements via the Commonwealth Environmental Water Holder (CEWH); water trading; and water resource management reporting via Bureau of Meteorology. The Productivity Commission 5-year reviews assess Basin Plan implementation including consequential 2024 Water Amendment (Restoring Our Rivers) Act extending recovery timelines.
