Murray-Darling Basin

The Murray Darling Basin The Murray Darling Basin is situated in Australia, it is one of the largest river systems in the world, it is divided into the northern basin (Darling system) and the southern Basin (Murray system). The Basin serves a significant role in supporting a wide range of native and introduced species of plants, animals and ecosystems. Currently salinity management is one of the most important environmental challenges facing the Murray-Darling Basin. If the salinity is not managed there could be a serious impact on surrounding plant growth, biodiversity, land productivity and the supply of water for human needs as the water quality would have decreased drastically. Salinity is a term that describes the salt content of…

Murray River one of the ancient rivers. It's about 130M years old according to the time scale of geologists. At that time, Australia was under a shallow sea, therefore it appeared like a group of islands rather what looks like now. In that time, the whole land started to appear above the sea level (100M years ago). Murray river was born by flowing of Salt water away from the emerging land and back into the ocean. The character of the development of the river was affected by the major geological…

The Murray-Darling Basin is facing many environmental, social and economic factors that affect the life around the basin. The Murray Darling Basin is facing many environmental issues that are caused by humans. The farmers near the MDB use fertilisers that run into the water when it rains and pollutes the water. The pollution from the fertilisers cause algae blooms to form. Another way that humans have affected the environment is through the use of irrigation for crops. The use of irrigation…

Two major predicted hydrological impacts that may occur due to human use of sub-catchments of the Murray-Darling Basin include extreme flood and drought conditions. These two hydrological events may occur within the Basin as a result to inceased dry and wetland conditions caused by future climate changes (CSIRO and the Bureau of Meteorology 2011). As demonstrated in the graph, if these hydrological conditions where to occur to the basin an increase in surface water avaliability will become…

central plains, and a fold-fault block mountain is in the east. It has a wide distribution Aeolian geomorphology the west-most column is a large plateau that experiences a lot of erosion. The middle column is primarily plains, where there is a lot of deposit from the rivers. In the eastern column, there are many old, fault block mountains. In the Midwestern plains, there is a big impact of the wind, which causes erosion and other unique features. Here, because of prevailing wind direction,…
