The Computer Aided River Management Project

The Murrumbidgee Computer Aided River Management Project (CARM) is a $65 million upgrade of infrastructure and operational processes throughout the Murrumbidgee River System. CARM provides an opportunity for State Water to investigate and test new methods of water measurement, flow prediction and monitoring with a view to extending this approach to all rivers under its operational control.

CARM aims to:

• improve water delivery service and efficiency to users within the Murrumbidgee River system;
• generate water savings;
• create increased farm productivity by more closely match irrigation delivery with crop water demand; and
• improve the health of wetlands and the riparian environment of the river system.
