South Australia takes 7% of all the water extracted from the Murray Darling Basin. 93% is taken out upstream. South Australia is a leader in caring for the river.
The Murray Darling Basin Authority has prepared a draft Basin Plan that aims to restore the river system. This plan is out for public comment.
Premier Jay Weatherill and Minister for the River Murray, Paul Caica, have been speaking with people from river communities as part of developing a strong South Australian submission.

Share your stories of how the drought affected you so we can include these in our submission to the Murray Darling Basin Authority.
