摘要

Over-extraction of water for consumptive use has left 20 out of 23 major river valleys in the Murray-Darling Basin in poor or very poor ecological condition. Coupled with climate change, which, as Young states, "represents a significant risk in the longer term" to ecosystem health across the Basin, the outlook for Australia's largest river system is particularly grim. It was with this in mind that the Australian government resolved to oversee and direct State management of Basin water resources by enacting the Water Act 2007 (Cth). The Act's objects include returning Basin water resources to environmentally sustainable levels of extraction, as well as protecting, restoring and providing for the ecological values and ecosystem services of the Murray-Darling Basin. They also include giving effect to several international environmental agreements, including the Convention on Biological Diversity and the Ramsar Convention, to the extent that they are relevant to the use and management of Basin water resources. This article examines the nature of the obligations contained in these two conventions, whether the Basin Plan is likely to implement them, and the legal consequences of failing to do so.
