**Join us to shape the future of one of Australia’s greatest natural assets and protect it for future generations.**
**We are seeking people who want to contribute to a significant water reform program that aims to respond to the impacts of climate change, support community and industry needs, and improve access to water for First Nations people.**
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. With the enactment of the Water Act 2007, the MDBA was established as an independent expertise-based statutory agency.
The MDBA aims to achieve a healthy working Basin for the benefit of all Australians. The Murray-Darling Basin contains a rich diversity of natural environments that are unique in Australia and the world. The Basin is also crucial to Australia’s economy and home to 2.3 million Australians, including people from over 50 First Nations. How we manage the Basin as a whole connected system, manage our water carefully, and protect it for future generations is set out in the Murray-Darling Basin Plan.
**The Position**
The Hydrological Analysis (HA) team are looking for MDBA employees who are interested in testing their skills to become a water resources modeller.
The HA Branch undertakes a range of modelling projects related to water resources management, including:
- model development and programming,
- hydrological/hydraulic modelling to assess impacts of different policy and/or operation rule changes,
- hydrologic analysis of river and wetland systems in the Basin, and
- supporting daily operations of the River Murray System.
The team has a role in providing technical advice to governments on water resource planning, Basin Plan implementation, and managing environmental water. The HA team also works closely with the Integrated River Modelling Uplift (IRMU) Program, which was initiated to upgrade modelling capability across the Murray-Darling Basin.
