The River Basin Plan (RBP) involves firstly making a detailed basin assessment (river basin profile), which provides a benchmark of water related issues in the basin, to map a way forward to improve economic, social and environmental outcomes. In due course the RBP comprises priority thematic plans that regulate water use in the basin and will result in the different water using sectors developing their own plans, consistent with the RBP requirements. The plan is also likely to identify hotspot locations (certain rivers, urban, irrigation areas, watersheds) in the basin which require urgent action to address local problems such as river conditions, water quality, salinity, water availability.
