Local engagement

Working in the Murray-Darling Basin

Local experience is critical to effectively manage and deliver water for the environment.

We work in partnership with Federal and State government agencies, basin communities, industry and are continuously learning from the vast knowledge of First Nations peoples to build a complete view of the Basin. Our work is underpinned by science, using monitoring, evaluation, and reporting techniques to ensure we are delivering tangible outcomes across the Basin.
