The Basin Salinity Management Strategy (BSMS) is a Basin-wide response to the threat that salinity poses to water quality, environmental values, regional infrastructure and productive agricultural land across the Murray-Darling Basin.
The Strategy provides a guideline for communities and governments to work together to control salinity and protect key natural resources. The Strategy partners collaborate in the preparation of an annual report that collates the achievements and activities undertaken to improve salinity management.
The BSMS has established in-stream salinity targets for major tributary valleys and the Murray-Darling Basin as a whole. The Strategy provides an accountability framework to ensure that land and water management activities (or Accountable Actions) complement salinity management objectives.
This brochure summarises the work undertaken by the Strategy’s partners, detailing progress towards meeting salinity targets and improving accountability for salinity management over the 2005–06 year.
