Abstract | The Murray–Darling Basin is one of the largest river systems in the world. It supports a large community and is ecologically diverse. The Basin Plan is being implemented to restore the balance between consumptive uses and environmental health in the Basin. The socio-economic implications are a critical consideration in any change to this balance. Under the Basin Plan, considerable effort was invested into understanding how irrigation communities will respond under different water availability/management scenarios. This paper builds on this understanding by enhancing modelling approaches used in water resource planning to represent how irrigator's behaviour may change in response to new water management rules. |
