Salt export objective and salinity targets for flow management

The Basin Plan sets out a salt export objective (section 9.09) to ensure adequate flushing of salt from the River Murray System into the Southern Ocean. The Authority must estimate the discharge of salt from the River Murray System into the Southern Ocean every water accounting period.

The annual assessments document the progress of water quality objectives and water quality targets as provided in Chapter 9 of the Basin Plan for Basin water resources, and provide an annual assessment of the salt export objective and salinity management targets.
