ABSTRACTIn their recent paper, Williams et al. (2022) evaluated salinity management in the Murray-Darling Basin (MDB) as ‘unsustainable’, and a risk to water availability and quality in the Basin. However, this evaluation was weakened first by a failure to analyse the Basin salinity strategies of the last thirty-five years, noting that these have led to Basin salinity target being met since 2010; and second to not providing Basin-specific data to support their evaluation. Contrary to Williams et al. comments, existing evidence indicates that infrastructure intended to improve water use efficiency (e.g. salt leaching, salt disposal basins) will generally reduce stream salinity. The requirement for a leaching efficiency means that there is a lower limit to water use efficiency improvements, but this is unlikely itself to be a major risk. We agree that the changes that have occurred over the last twenty years would warrant a review of salt storage options in the MDB that better matches future needs.KEYWORDS: Murray Basinsalinitysalt disposalstream salinitysaline ecosystems AcknowledgementsThe authors would like thank Asitha Katupitiya, Acting General Manager, Sustainable Diversion Limit Adjustment Mechanism, River Management Portfolio, Murray–Darling Basin Authority, Canberra for his comments on earlier draft of the manuscript.

在他们最近的论文中,Williams等人(2022)评估墨累-达令盆地(MDB)的盐度管理是“不可持续的”,并且对盆地的水可用性和质量构成风险。然而,由于未能对过去35年的盆地盐度策略进行分析,这一评估首先被削弱了,注意到这些策略导致了自2010年以来盆地盐度目标的实现;第二,没有提供特定盆地的数据来支持他们的评估。与Williams等人的评论相反,现有证据表明,旨在提高水利用效率的基础设施(如盐浸出、盐处理盆地)通常会降低河流的盐度。对浸出效率的要求意味着提高用水效率有一个下限,但这本身不太可能是一个主要风险。我们同意,鉴于过去20年发生的变化,有必要对多边开发银行的盐储存方案进行审查,以更好地满足未来需求。作者感谢堪培拉默里-达令流域管理局河流管理部门可持续导流限制调整机制代理总经理Asitha Katupitiya对本文早期草稿的评论。我们还要感谢审稿人提出的建设性意见,这些意见改进了本文。披露声明作者不知道有任何利益冲突。本工作未获得资助。格伦沃克在形成水中接地之前,与CSIRO在地下水和盐度方面有超过30年的研究经验。格伦曾因盐度研究获得WE Woods奖;并一直是MDBA独立审计小组的成员;煤层气和大型煤炭开发独立专家科学委员会以及墨尔本大学灌溉回流专家小组成员。Barry Hart是莫纳什大学名誉教授,曾任莫纳什大学水资源研究中心主任。他目前是冲积控股和冲积咨询澳大利亚的主席,以及EcoFutures的董事会成员。巴里是穆雷-达令盆地管理局董事会9年(2009-2018)的成员,在许多其他过去的任命中,曾在英联邦环境水科学咨询小组、大堡礁水质伙伴关系科学咨询小组和吉普斯兰湖泊和集水区工作队担任领导职务。2003年,他因在水质管理和环境保护方面的服务而获得百年奖章。2012年6月,他被授予澳大利亚勋章(AM)。

ABSTRACT Freshwater aquatic ecosystems can be considered sentinels of change as they integrate signals from catchment, hydrology and biogeochemistry to provide an indication of how the system fluctuates. The Coorong estuary acts as a sentinel for the Murray-Darling Basin (MDB), Australia. Its location at the terminus of the Murray-Darling River systems, which drains more than 1 million square kilometres across 22 major catchments, means that any change to climate, water extraction or land use in the upstream catchments will have repercussions for the Coorong. It therefore acts as an indicator of the health of the MDB and the effectiveness of the Murray-Darling Basin Plan at protecting this ecosystem. Environmental water secured through the Murray-Darling Basin Plan and establishment of the Commonwealth Environmental Water Holder has been critical to preventing significant ecosystem decline in the Coorong. For most water years in the last decade environmental water has contributed to the majority of flow through the barrages. This has exported salt from the basin, reduced influx of salt from the ocean, and expanded available habitat for fish in the Coorong. However, the environmental flows have not been sufficient to arrest sand build up, and dredges still operate at the Murray Mouth during all but the highest flow events. There is a clear case for continued water management and reform, extending beyond the boundaries of the MDB, to further increase security of water flowing along the river system through the barrages and supporting the ecological health of the Coorong, and by association the full MDB.

ABSTRACT This paper explores how scientific uncertainty was addressed in the Australian Government’s decision-making process leading to the establishment of the ‘sustainable diversion limit’ (SDL) for the Murray-Darling Basin Plan in 2012. Our research draws on a systematic document analysis to generate an argument map representing the reasoning presented in government reports and legislation, as well as interviews with current and former public servants and researchers who have knowledge of the decision-making process. Looking towards the review of the Basin Plan, this analysis provides additional evidence for a number of areas to be discussed to advance the management of uncertainty in the associated decision-making. First, there is a need to address the challenges to adaptive management, as adaptive management delegates much of the uncertainty to future changes in policy as improved knowledge is gained. Second, there is a need to generate and use new knowledge for the review since the legislative mandate to use the ‘best available science’ enabled the use of pre-existing models and historical climate data. Third, there is a need for dialogue on handling of trade-offs between objectives given that uncertainty creates space for political pressures from interest groups. Fourth, there should be wider transparency about uncertainty in decision-making processes.

Adaptive water management in response to climate change: the case of the southern Murray darling Basin 适应气候变化的水资源管理:以默里达令盆地南部为例

ABSTRACT For over two decades, Australia has sought to address the effects of the over allocation of water resources in the Murray-Darling Basin through implementation of the Murray Darling Basin Plan (2012). It is increasingly apparent that the impacts of climate change on surface runoff and water demand will profoundly impact rivers, potentially negating the Basin Plan’s achievements. It will be critical that we use the lessons from the last two decades to inform adaptation to climate change. Environmental water allocations over the last decade have focussed on providing base flows, freshes, and overbank flows, within a Natural Flow Regime paradigm. In a climate-changed world managers have three broad options. The first would be to continue to pursue single loop adaptive management making improvements within the existing framework. The second option would be to adapt the system approach to focus on a subset of sites, akin to maintaining aquatic reserves. The third option would be to move flow management away from the natural flow paradigm to a more functional regime. This approach would invoke the second adaptive management loop by evaluating options for adaptation and developing processes for navigating trade-offs among social, economic, cultural, and environmental values and between protection, restoration, and adaptation. Changes in water availability because of climate change will require more than incremental adaptation (first loop adaptive management) and will necessitate consideration of either protecting a smaller suite of spatial areas or a smaller set of functional outcomes. This requires profound change to some of the Basin Plan’s approaches to environmental flow management. The review of the Basin Plan in 2026 provides a rare opportunity to adapt the Basin Plan from a foundation of protect and restore to one that includes adaptation, and this will require substantive changes to the Basin Plan (second loop adaptive management).

Risk of stream loss from changing irrigation, climate and groundwater extraction on the southern riverine plain of the Murray-Darling Basin in south-eastern Australia 澳大利亚东南部墨累-达令盆地南部河流平原灌溉、气候和地下水开采变化造成的河流损失风险
IF 3.2 Q2 WATER RESOURCES Pub Date : 2023-03-01 DOI: 10.1080/13241583.2023.2181292

ABSTRACT The rivers of the south-eastern Murray-Darling Basin (MDB) and the associated irrigation areas of the southern riverine plain (SRP) in south-eastern Australia have undergone major hydrological changes over the last 30 years. These include a period of lower rainfall; a rebalance of surface water diversions between consumptive and environmental water uses under the MDB Basin Plan, improvements in water infrastructure; water trade out of the region; and falling groundwater levels. All these changes increase losses from streams to groundwater systems; potentially leading to the need for greater releases from dams to maintain baseflow in the major rivers. Baseflow is important for conveyance of water, water quality and baseflow-dependent ecosystems during dry periods. Hydrological changes in the SRP will reduce the streamflow by 2029–30 by an estimated 80 to 320 GL/yr. Further hydrological changes by 2029–30 will reduce the streamflow by another 50 GL/yr in the following decade. This is the first assessment of the cumulative stream impacts of the SRP and is relatively lower than previous assessments for single drivers. The current approach of mitigating unexpected losses is to increase conveyance loss budgets as required. This could be extended to mitigate the lower end of potential impacts; but further steps to reduce losses may be required towards the upper end. Further actions include a review of extraction limits for surface water and groundwater, trigger levels, and a greater shift towards conjunctive water management. Groundwater extraction, which has dominated impacts, is increasing from a relatively low proportion of the extraction limit in Goulburn-Murray Sedimentary Plain and shallow aquifers of the SRP. Over time, climate change will become more dominant as a driver. Most monitoring required to support mitigation already exists, but data is not collated or reported in a form relevant for stream impacts. Modelling also needs to be updated with reporting of more relevant outputs.

Over time, climate change will become more dominant as a driver. Most monitoring required to support mitigation already exists, but data is not collated or reported in a form relevant for stream impacts. Modelling also needs to be updated with reporting of more relevant outputs.","PeriodicalId":51870,"journal":{"name":"Australasian Journal of Water Resources","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2023-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49525349","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

ABSTRACT The revised Murray-Darling Basin Plan is scheduled for 2026. Given the Plans complexity, and issues involved in the revision it is worth asking what will be the main drivers of change? What changes can reasonably be anticipated? What preparations should stakeholders make for their engagement in the planning process? As we move towards the next Basin Plan, there are multiple wheels in motion that could shape the future. Several factors we anticipate being important are examined. Our aim is to stimulate stakeholders to think about and prepare for major contingencies that could affect their interests. We focus on those that will likely affect water availability, and changes in policy and water-governance by public agencies. We take the starting point that rivers are complex social-ecological systems, within which structural circumstances and forms of social capital will affect individuals’ and communities’ abilities to maximise what they achieve from their natural assets, and their resilience to unfavourable contingencies. We conclude with some observations about how stakeholders might strengthen their ability to respond to opportunities or threats. While the future is always uncertain and all planning processes are flawed, how stakeholders conceive of and respond to today’s challenges will substantially affect their capacity to be resilient.
