Environmental Delivery

The Living Murray’s first step focuses on restoring the health of six River Murray icon sites chosen for their high ecological, cultural, recreational, heritage and economic value. These sites are suffering from the impacts of river regulation, and other threats such as salinity.

Through The Living Murray program, environmental water management optimises water use to achieve the ecological objectives of the icon sites by:

  • smarter use of water
  • delivery of environmental water entitlements.

Individual icon site management plans outline the objectives, guidelines and priorities for water. These priorities are informed by monitoring, investigations and stakeholder consultation.
