Book Description
Excerpt from Irrigation Farming in Australia: An Account of the Irrigation Closer Settlement Schemes in the Commonwealth, Showing the Steps by Which the New Settler From Oversea Begins Unroll the map of Australia and one striking feature becomes at once obvious - the great river system on the south-eastern side, comprising the Murray and its tributaries. At a distance of 520 miles above its mouth, the Murray system branches out like a fan, the ribs of which run through all the country from Queensland to Victoria. True, the analogy to a fan is more apparent on paper than in fact, for the main body of the river's waters comes from the lower, or southern side of the fan. The area of the Murray basin is over 414,000 square miles, or about one-seventh of the whole of the Australian continent. The Murray system is the great natural drainage line of South-eastern Australia. The length of the Murray proper is 1400 miles; it marks out nearly the entire boundary between New South Wales and Victoria. The two longest tributaries, the Darling and Murrumbidgee, both in New South Wales, are respectively 1350 and 700 miles long. It should be explained, however, that length is less important in these rivers than flow, and that while the Darling is the longest tributary, it is, in the other regard, of much less importance, since its flow is only a little over a third of that of the Murrumbidgee, and a little more than half that of the main Victorian tributary, the Goulburn.

Water management policies and their impact on irrigated crop production in the Murray-Darling Basin, Australia
Author: Burdack, Doreen
Publisher: Universitätsverlag Potsdam
ISBN: 3869563060
Category : Water resources development
Languages : en
Pages : 334
Book Description
The economic impact analysis contained in this book shows how irrigation farming is particularly susceptible when applying certain water management policies in the Australian Murray-Darling Basin, one of the world largest river basins and Australia’s most fertile region. By comparing different pricing and non-pricing water management policies with the help of the Water Integrated Market Model, it is found that the impact of water demand reducing policies is most severe on crops that need to be intensively irrigated and are at the same time less water productive. A combination of increasingly frequent and severe droughts and the application of policies that decrease agricultural water demand, in the same region, will create a situation in which the highly water dependent crops rice and cotton cannot be cultivated at all.
