CANBERRA, ACT, Sept. 3 -- Murray-Darling Basin Authority issued the following news release:
Winning the JS Collings Trophy, which has been awarded almost annually since 1943, Menindee stood out for its outstanding maintenance and presentation, operational resilience, safety and innovation.
MDBA General Manager of Assets, Angus Paton congratulated the WaterNSW team for their leadership in improving dam safety and asset reliability.
"Menindee is a significant storage for the Basin and a critical part of the River Murray system - it's in great hands," Mr Paton said.
"We cannot understate the value of site staff, they are the eyes on the ground - constantly monitoring, maintaining and responding to challenges to keep these assets operating safely and effectively.
