The Murray-Darling Basin Sustainable Yields Project tracks the entire river system, from the Darling in Queensland to the mouth of the Murray River, the Coorong region in South Australia.

The 18 regional reports, and the final overview to be delivered to the Government soon, will provide governments with a robust, Basin wide estimate of water availability on an individual catchment and aquifer basis, taking into account climate change and other risks.

In this podcast, Dr Hatton explains that extraction along the system, plus the worst drought ever recorded in the Basin, have played a large part in the sad state of the end of the Murray-Darling.
