The Hunter River Salinity Trading Scheme (the Scheme) involves a finite system of salt credits that industries can buy and trade to discharge their salty water into the Hunter River. The Scheme has been designed to balance the water quality objectives of the Hunter River with the water quality needs of agricultural users and the discharge needs of mines and power stations within the Hunter River catchment.
