2 The Murray-Darling Basin

3 Distribution of Australia s surface run-off 20.3% 23.3% 1.0% 0.4% 1.9% 21.1% 1.7% 0% 0.3% 6.1% 10.6% 13.3%

4 Average Yearly rainfall in the basin

5 Drivers to Construct Assets Federation drought 1895 to 1903 Tension between states - Demand for reliable water supply for irrigation - Impact of increasing irrigation on navigation Nation Building River Murray Agreement Act 1915 (led to River Murray Commission)

6 RIVER MURRAY SYSTEM ASSETS SUMMARY Dartmouth Dam Hume Dam Yarrawonga Weir Menindee Lakes (leased from NSW) Lake Victoria 13 Weirs & Locks on River Murray 5 Barrages near Murray Mouth Salt Interception Schemes Environmental Works & Measures Assets (current program)

7 Dartmouth Dam 4000 GL reservoir Completed m high Highest dam in Australia Operated as a drought reserve

8 Hume Dam 3000 GL reservoir 50m high Completed 1936 raised 1961 Main operating storage

9 Yarrawonga Weir 118 GL weir Completed 1939 Largest point of diversion from River Murray Operating storage

10 Menindee Lakes Four main lakes Up to 1700 GL reservoir Natural depressions Completed 1968 Used to help supply South Australia s entitlement

11 Lake Victoria 677 GL reservoir Formerly natural lake Constructed 1920 s Mid river storage used to help supply South Australia s entitlement Cultural heritage

12 Locks and Weirs Locks and weirs 1-11, 15 and 26 Murray navigable for 970 km (Mildura) Each raises the water level by about 3.1m

13 Murray Mouth and Barrages

14 Barrages Five barrages, two locks Upstream water level about 0.75m above sea level Completed 1940 Used to supply freshwater locally

15 Tauwitchere Barrage

16 Asset Management Assets are controlled by the River Murray Operations Joint Venture comprising Australian Government and states of NSW, Victoria and South Australia The Authority is the agent of the Joint Venture, and funds and directs the Asset Management Program Each State has a Constructing Authority (SCA) which is responsible for design, construction, operation and maintenance

17 Asset Management Ct d The Authority is responsible for: - setting priorities for the overall program - ensuring uniformity of approach by the SCAs - overseeing the standard of service delivery - co-ordinating works programs - high level technical review - maintaining the infrastructure asset register - budget preparation (in liaison with SCAs) - risk management (including OH&S, dam safety management and public liability risks)

43 Causes of River Salinity Post Lock Construction and Mallee Clearance with Irrigation Irrigation Drainage River Regulation Increased rainfall recharge Natural saline groundwater flows

44

45 Options for Salinity Control River flow management Targeted revegetation Dryland farming practice changes Conservation of existing native vegetation Improved irrigation delivery and efficiency Direct new development to lower impact areas Salt Interception Schemes

46 Salt Interception What is it? Large scale Groundwater pumping & drainage schemes that intercept saline water flow before it enters the River Murray system Salt Interception is not Desalination

47 Salt Interception How Does it Work? No Interception Hydraulic grade line Possible Floodplain River Murray Saline

48 Salt Interception How does it Work? With Interception Hydraulic grade line No Pumping G/W Pump Possible Hydraulic grade line with pumps on Floodplain Aim is to just make this flat River Murray Saline
