SIMPACT - Salinity Modeling for Policy and Catchment Management in the Lower Murray-Darling Basin

نویسنده

  • A. Kirk
چکیده

The first model calculates how long changes to deep drainage take to appear as recharge to saline aquifers. The second models the groundwater flows to quantify how much saline groundwater will be delivered to the River Murray over a certain period of time. SIMRAT has influenced salinity policy development, delivered outputs required by policy and continually challenged our understanding of salinity management issues in the region.

Water use and salinity in the Murray–Darling Basin: A state-contingent model*

The Murray–Darling Basin comprises over 1 million square kilometres; it lies within four states and one territory; and over 12,800 gigalitres of irrigation water is used to produce over 40 per cent of the nation's gross value of agricultural production. The supply of water for irrigation is subject to climatic and policy uncertainty. The object of the present paper is to show how the linear and...

Towards 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...
