A global challenge for water resource management in rivers worldwide is ensuring water supply reliability satisfies consumptive and environmental demands. High variability in water supply, water policy and management decisions, and uncertainty about the effects of climate change compound this challenge. Understanding factors driving water allocations and consequences for water users and the environment is essential. Rainfall and streamflow traditionally drive allocations, yet the influence of water management decisions are often overlooked because they are complex, rarely codified and dependent on the regional context. We compared the relative influences of water management, climate and the river system characteristics including demand and water storage infrastructure on regulated and unregulated water allocations in two regulated rivers with large dams for water supply to towns, irrigated agriculture and wetlands of international significance (Gwydir and Macquarie Rivers of the Murray-Darling Basin, southeastern Australia), using hydrological simulation models and regression-based sensitivity analyses under an historical and drier climate. Water management decisions influenced regulated water allocations (explaining 23% to 52% of the variance) considerably more than unregulated water allocations (explaining 2%). For regulated water allocations, water management decisions and the river system were more important than a plausible change in climate, while for unregulated water allocations, the river system and climate change were dominant drivers. Changing management rules alone could vary long term water allocations by between -6% and +0.1% in the Gwydir River and between -4% and +22% in the Macquarie River. Management rules which allocated future inflows (i.e. credit model) were more likely to fail in a drying environment with projected reductions in runoff, compared to rules where only water in storage is allocated (i.e. debit model). Management rules differed despite both river systems being governed by a single management agency under the same legislative and policy framework. More systematic approaches to justify water management rules and greater transparency in their influence on water allocations are critical for maximizing the benefits to water users and river health, and for managing risks to water supply in a variable and changing climate.
