By these fish kills we now know it has to be more than the current flow without any change to other land management practices.

Murray-Darling Basin Royal Commission slams authority for 'gross maladministration'The Murray-Darling Basin Royal Commission finds Commonwealth officials committed gross maladministration, negligence and unlawful actions in drawing up the multi-billion-dollar deal to save Australia's largest river system.

The biggest maladministration in MDB is the SA government maintaining a man-made freshwater lake at the end of the system, which is currently being kept at over 90% capacity. But I bet the SA report doesn't mention that.
