      abstract = {The Murray-Darling Basin comprises over 1 million km2; it  lies within four states and one territory; and over 12, 800  GL of irrigation water is used to produce over 40% of the  nation's gross value of agricultural production. This  production is used by a diverse collection of some-times  mutually exclusive commodities (e.g. pasture; stone fruit;  grapes; cotton and field crops). The supply of water for  irrigation is subject to climatic and policy uncertainty.  Variable inflows mean that water property rights do not  provide a guaranteed supply. With increasing public  scrutiny and environmental issues facing irrigators,  greater pressure is being placed on this finite resource.  The uncertainty of the water supply, water quality  (salinity), combined with where water is utilised, while  attempting to maximising return for investment makes for an  interesting research field. The utilisation and comparison  of a GAMS and Excel based modelling approach has been used  to ask: where should we allocate water?; amongst what  commodities?; and how does this affect both the quantity of  water and the quality of water along the Murray-Darling  river system?},
