Salinity Crisis in the Murray Darling Basin
A recent report titled the Murray Darling Salinity Audit paints a grim
picture for the future of the Murray Darling river basin, an area which
directly affects four states - Victoria, South Australia, Queensland and

Charile Sherwin, Biodiversity Campaign Coordinator with the Australian
Conservation Foundation, about the Salinity Audit and the future outlook of
salinity in the Australian environment.
