The lower Murray is officially on life support. Will we save it? The lower Murray, home to the beloved Coorong, is officially in its death throes. The only way to save it is community, research and more flowing water.

What are the odds? #conservation #murraydarling - theconversation.com/the-lower-mu...

The not-so-little Murray cod that could: fish tracked swimming 900km along Australia’s biggest river system Fish named after Olympic swimming champion Ariarne Titmus was most recently tracked at a section of the mid-Murray, near Belsar Island

One fish. 900 km. Because the river could flow💧

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.

Revoke water licences for cotton and rice. When they turn their pumps on the river flows backwards - it's a relatively simple fix. Cotton and rice should not be grown in Australia where water is so scarce.

Despite a $13b government investment, study finds health of Australia's largest river system has declined A report finds the Murray-Darling Basin "continues to decline" and the multi-billion-dollar plan to try to save it has not improved its health.

New study on Murray-Darling Basin Plan: 74% of indicators not met on health of the river after more > decade of operation. Highlighted pressure from flood plain harvesting in Northern Basin, land-use change and global warming as possible causes. #MurrayDarling #Barka

Good to see ongoing focus on #barkindji country and its catchments, communities. Had formative years living at #BourkeNSW - cannot recommend highly enough that people visit, explore, understand this massive arterial river system + advocate for its health. #MurrayDarling

A $13 billion, 30-year flop: landmark study reveals stark failure to halt Murray-Darling River decline The findings are simply unacceptable for a natural asset so fundamental to Australia’s environmental, cultural and economic wellbeing.

The most important river system in Australia-in failure #MurrayDarling #Baaka #environment #auspol

Everything we know about water buybacks, Barnaby Joyce and Angus Taylor The election campaign has been diverted towards a controversy around water buybacks in the Murray-Darling.

Remember Angus Taylor’s $80m Murray–Darling water buyback deal? It reeks of corruption and lacks transparency. Public funds deserve better.

From the archives: #WaterNeutrality and its #biodiversity benefits conservationbytes.com/2008/11/05/water-neutral... (I'll never understand why this wasn't embraced in water-starved Australia — it's a fantastic idea that could save the #MurrayDarling)
