Projections of Groundwater Extraction Rates Murray-Darling Basin Groundwater Status Report: 1990-2000  This report assesses the status of groundwater resources in the Basin using data collated from more than 1,200 observation bores across the Basin. The information, which covers trends in groundwater extent and condition over the decade from 1990-2000, will provide a baseline picture of Basin groundwater resources and will allow the evaluation of trends in groundwater levels and condition in the future. The report was collated in recognition of the need to better understand the extent and quality of available groundwater and to ensure that groundwater resources in the Basin are managed in a sustainable way. The data and information also have been collated in a way that recognises different management perspectives and information needs of different users. The Murray-Darling Basin Groundwater Status Report consists of: The hard copy of the Summary Report is accompanied by three CDs: one which contains all 25 reports produced as part of the project including 23 catchment reports provided in an interactive format; a GIS tool which presents a series of digital maps and hydrographs; and a software CD. These and the full report are available from the MDBC Information Officer on 02 6279 0141 or email: http://www.mdba.gov.au/contact .
