The current Murray-Darling Basin Plan has failed to restore rivers, wetlands and biodiversity. A new plan built on minor tweaks and ignored climate science will repeat the damage, Quentin Grafton, Richard Kingsford, Sarah Wheeler and John Williams write. #auspol #MurrayDarling #Water
The next Basin Plan is a disaster in the making
Members of the Murray-Darling Basin Knowledge Alliance explain why the original Basin plan was flawed and the proposed new plan will also fail to protect and restore the rivers of Murray-Darling Basin.

The Moonie River winds through southern Queensland, merging with other rivers to eventually become the Baaka (Darling) River.
Water stops flowing for almost 200 days every year. The isolated waterholes remain muddy, whereas once they were clear.
