Home / River Murray / Murray Darling Basin Guide to proposed Basin Plan Science Review
The purpose of the science review was to review and interpret the science underpinning the proposed Basin Plan with the objective of better understanding the implications of the proposed Basin Plan for South Australia, both in terms of the volume of water coming over the border and the local effect of the proposed sustainable diversion limit.
While the focus of the review was on the ability of the proposed Plan to meet environmental watering requirements, it was also to address effects of changes in sustainable diversion limits on other water users, including quality and reliability of town water supply, and water for industrial and agricultural purposes. These objectives did not change during the project.
