Australia's Water Resources
Author: John Pigram
Publisher: CSIRO PUBLISHING
ISBN: 0643098623
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 239
Book Description
Australia’s Water Resources seeks to explore the circumstances underpinning the profound reorientation of attitudes and relationships to water that has taken place in Australia in recent decades. The changing emphasis from development to management of water resources continues to evolve and is reflected in a series of public policy initiatives directed towards rational, efficient and sustainable use of the nation's water. Australia is now recognised as a pacesetter in water reform. Administrative restructuring, water pricing, water markets and trade, integrated water resources management, and the emergence of the private sector, are features of a more economically sound and environmentally compatible water industry. It is important that these changes are documented and their rationale and effectiveness explained. This timely work provides an important synthesis of these issues. This revised paperback edition is a fully corrected reprint of the hardback edition.

Pages : 46
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.
