Abstract
Adaptive management is an integral requirement of the implementation of the Murray–Darling Basin Plan. This cannot be achieved without the knowledge generated by a Basin-wide robust and credible monitoring and evaluation programme. This chapter reviews the development of mostly biophysical monitoring programmes within the Basin and how these data have been used in the 2017 (interim) evaluation of the Basin Plan. The 2017 evaluation also for the first time included social and economic data in an attempt to provide a triple bottom line assessment. The review concludes that more needs to be done collaboratively to develop a truly well-designed integrated (environmental, social, cultural, and economic) monitoring and assessment approach that matches the scale and complexity of this major management intervention.
