Source Rivers will set the new benchmark for river system modelling, allowing better management of precious water resources for all uses and demands, including the environment. Its consistent across the jurisdictions will provide a consistent, scientifically defensible and transparent approach to river management. Source Rivers will be a vital part of securing Australia’s water supplies for the future.

About two million people across four states live in the Murray-Darling Basin.Covering more than one million square kilometres, the Basin generates more than 40 per cent of the gross value of Australian agricultural production and includes natural features and places of high environmental and cultural value. The Basin is under enormous stress due to past water-allocation decisions, prolonged drought, and climate change.

One of the great challenges facing the Murray Darling Basin Authority is deciding how much water can be taken out if the system for agricultural irrigation without jeopardising ecosystems. Now there is a model which allows administrators to calculate the needs for each sector, from year to year. Professor Quentin Grafton is based at the Australian National University and heads the team which devised the model. The team's work was recognised with a prestigious Eureka award.

The pressures on water resources across the 3Ss Basins is intensifying. These pressures could in the future undermine the ability of the countries to meet their long term development objectives. There is a need to address and manage these existing pressures - and to strengthen cross border collaboration.
