An aerial photo of a segment of the Murray–Darling Basin at golden hour. We see wetlands, agricultural areas, roads and small buildings in the distance. A caption invites us to read an open access research article in Marine and Freshwater Research titled "Status and trends in wetland conservation policy under climate change in the Murray–Darling Basin, Australia".

Slide from a conference presentation. Title reads: "Landscape evolution of the Darling River (a long dance of change)". Picture is the alluvial plains: a broad landscape extending off to the flat horizon. Blue sky above, reddish dust on the horizon, landscape is flat grey dusty plains with a light cover of thin green grass, and isolated trees here and there. NSW Australia

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.

MDBA defends deliberate forest flooding in billion-dollar class action
The Murray-Darling Basin Authority argues it acted conservatively to manage the risks of water shortfalls, including the use of over-bank flows, in its defence against a class action brought by 28,000 irrigators.
