Investigating the use of PALSAR for wetland assessment in semi-arid environments of Australia: The Murray-Darling Basin (MDB)
ALOS PALSAR data is used to analyse the flood dynamics of two semi-arid river systems and to characterise and define wetland typologies that result from infrequent and highly variable river flood regimes. The two sites, the Gwydir and the Paroo rivers, are both located within the Murray Darling Basin of eastern Australia. The methods developed have the potential to provide cost effective monito...
متن کاملManaging hydroclimatic risks in federal rivers: a diagnostic assessment.
Hydroclimatic risks and adaptive capacity are not distributed evenly in large river basins of federal countries, where authority is divided across national and territorial governments. Transboundary river basins are a major test of federal systems of governance because key management roles exist at all levels. This paper examines the evolution and design of interstate water allocation instituti...
متن کاملTowards integrated modelling in the Murray-Darling Basin
The Murray-Darling Basin is characterised by low but highly variable rainfall and surface runoff and a high level of surface water use. Regulation has altered the stream flow pattern dramatically, affecting river dependent ecosystems. Responsibility for land and water management is fragmented, producing varying (and sometimes disparate) policies, management, and modelling approaches. The Murray...
متن کاملThe atmospheric water balance over the Murray-Darling Basin, based on numerical weather prediction output
The hydroclimate of the Murray-Darling Basin in southeast Australia has been investigated by estimating the Basin’s atmospheric water balance, based on numerical weather prediction (NWP) output. The water balance has been calculated for the period from 2000 to 2004, using archived output from the Australian Bureau of Meteorology’s mesoscale model, the Limited Area Prediction System (LAPS). The ...
متن کاملChapter 4 – Groundwater in the Murray Geological Basin - Assessment of Groundwater Resources in the Broken Hill Region
The Murray Geological Basin is a large but relatively shallow Cenozoic sedimentary basin, extending over 300,000 km of south-eastern Australia (Figure 4.1). Some 23,000 km of the Murray Geological Basin occurs within 150 km of Broken Hill (Figure 3.1), with the north-west margin of the basin adjacent to the fractured rock uplands where Broken Hill is located (Figure 4.2). Contours for the base ...
