Eastern Mount Lofty Ranges
The Murray-Darling Basin Sustainable Yields Project

At the Murray-Darling Basin Water summit, convened by the Prime Minister on 7 November 2006, it was agreed to:
Commission the CSIRO to report progressively by the end of 2007 on sustainable yields of surface and groundwater systems within the Murray-Darling Basin, including an examination of assumptions about sustainable yields in light of changes in climate and other issues.

As a result, the CSIRO has been contracted by the National Water Commission to report on current and future water availability in the Murray-Darling Basin.

The Eastern Mount Lofty Ranges is the second in a series of regions being assessed as part of the CSIRO Murray-Darling Basin Sustainable Yields Project.

The Eastern Mount Lofty Ranges region is in the far south west of the Murray-Darling Basin. It is entirely in South Australia and represents less than one per cent of the total area of the Basin.

The following documents detail the research findings for this region:
