Why is there a group called the River Murray Urban Users Committee?
The health of the River Murray is declining due to over extraction of water, pollution, unsustainable land management, invasion of feral plants and animals and clearing of native vegetation. The River Murray Urban Users Committee is one of eleven local action planning groups addressing natural resource management issues in the Murray-Darling Basin in South Australia to help to preserve and restore the health of the River Murray. Local action planning is an initiative that enables the local community to determine priorities for action that will address natural resource management issues in the South Australian Murray-Darling Basin.
