Integrated Waterway and Catchment Management at Basin Scale

Join this panel discussion webinar featuring leading experts who examine how to unlock water's full value through system-wide, locally empowered action in the Murray-Darling Basin. Discover the Basin SCALE Declaration, which emerged from a November 2025 gathering of policymakers, practitioners, researchers, First Nations experts, and innovators in Canberra. Learn about the challenges facing water management despite significant progress - while 30% of irrigation water has been secured for environmental use since 1995 and sustainable diversion limits are being met, complementary actions like riparian restoration, fish screens, and sustainable land management remain fragmented and under-resourced. Understand how the Basin SCALE Declaration calls for System-wide, Catchment Aligned, and Locally Empowered action to achieve the full potential of recovered water resources. Explore practical approaches to integrated waterway and catchment management that can transform local conservation efforts from isolated initiatives into coordinated, basin-wide impact.
