The Murray–Darling Basin Authority (MDBA) and joint River Murray governments have initiated a detailed review of the Menindee Lakes System to address long running operational and water management challenges.
MDBA Chief Executive Andrew McConville said that all governments involved had committed and were invested in finding a viable way forward that responds to concerns and prepares for the future.
“The Menindee Review is about examining the information we have, strengthening what is working and coming together to develop practical solutions to ensure the long-term health and resilience of Basin communities, industries and the environment,” said Mr McConville.
“As part of the review we have released a technical report which explains the history of the lakes and why they operate the way they do and identifies the risks and opportunities that come with change.”
