Steady as it flows report - the Inspector-General’s assessment of River Murray operations and environmental water management
These last couple of months have seen a significant amount of rain across the Murray-Darling Basin, which has reinvigorated concerns about how the river system is being managed.
The sentiment echoes what the Inspector-General first heard when starting in the role: there was a level of distrust about how to key agencies were performing their duties. The community told the Inspector—General that they didn’t think the Murray Darling Basin Authority was managing the River Murray properly. They also voiced concerns about how the Commonwealth Environmental Water Holder was managing environmental flows.
A report titled Steady as it Flows has been released by the Inspector-General which looks at these concerns. While the report was released earlier in the year, we thought it was timely to sit down and take a look at it in more detail, to learn about the role of these agencies and their responsibilities.
