The Murray-Darling Basin Authority (MDBA) is an independent government agency which, in partnership with Basin governments, manages the Murray-Darling Basin’s water resources in the national interest.

The Basin is also crucial to Australia’s economy and home to 2.3 million Australians, including people from over 50 First Nations.
