Abstract
The legislation underpinning the Basin Plan (the Water Act 2007) requires
the protection and restoration of Basin ecological assets through the setting
of sustainable diversion limits (SDLs). In meeting these environmental
objectives, it also requires optimizing social, environmental, and economic
outcomes of Basin water resource management, including net economic
returns from Basin water resource management, for the Australian community.
A further requirement is that all assessments underpinning the Plan
are to be based on best scientific and economic practice and in observance
of the National Water Initiative (CoAG, 2004).
