Murray-Darling Basin Water Resource Plan Areas – Surface Water

The Basin Plan's management arrangements will be implemented at a local scale through water resource plans prepared by the Basin states for accreditation by the Commonwealth Water Minister. The Basin has been divided into 19 surface-water water resource plan areas. The boundaries of these areas are shown in the Surface Water Water Resource Plan Areas dataset.\r\nThe surface-water water resource plan areas cover the entire Basin, including those areas not previously subject to water planning arrangements. The water resources in the Murray-Darling Basin to which the Basin Plan will apply are identified in the Water Act 2007 (Cwlth). These resources do not include the Great Artesian Basin water resources.

《流域规划》的管理安排将通过流域各州编制、供联邦水利部长认证的水资源规划在地方层面实施。该流域已划分为19个地表水水资源规划区。这些区域的边界详见《地表水水资源规划区数据集》。
地表水水资源规划区覆盖整个流域，包括此前未纳入水资源规划安排的区域。《流域规划》适用的墨累-达令流域水资源由《2007年水法》（联邦）明确规定。这些资源不包括大自流盆地的水资源。
