Upgrading of locks & weirs on the River Murray projectsRIVER MURRAY WATER 20 January 2004 Background River Murray Water is one of the largest water businesses in Australia. It was established in its current form in 1998, and inherited a responsibility for the management of the River Murray System that has its origins in the River Murray Waters Agreement of 1915. It now operates four major storages (with a capacity of 9,352 gigalitres) and a large number of other river control structures and salinity mitigation works over a river length of 2,500 kilometres. The replacement value of these assets exceeds $1,500 million.
