Melbourne is located in the south-eastern part of mainland Australia, within the state of Victoria. Geologically, it is built on the confluence of Quaternary lava flows to the west, Silurian mudstones to the east, and Holocene sand accumulation to the southeast along Port Phillip. The southeastern suburbs are situated on the Selwyn fault which transects Mount Martha and Cranbourne. Melbourne extends along the Yarra River towards the Yarra Valley and the Dandenong Ranges to the east. It extends northward through the undulating bushland valleys of the Yarra's tributaries—Moonee Ponds Creek (toward Tullamarine Airport), Merri Creek, Darebin Creek and Plenty River—to the outer suburban growth corridors of Craigieburn and Whittlesea. The city reaches south-east through Dandenong to the growth corridor of Pakenham towards West Gippsland, and southward through the Dandenong Creek valley, the Mornington Peninsula and the city of Frankston taking in the peaks of Olivers Hill, Mount Martha and Arthurs Seat, extending along the shores of Port Phillip as a single conurbation to reach the exclusive suburb of Portsea and Point Nepean. In the west, it extends along the Maribyrnong River and its tributaries north towards Sunbury and the foothills of the Macedon Ranges, and along the flat volcanic plain country towards Melton in the west, Werribee at the foothills of the You Yangs granite ridge south west of the CBD. The Little River, and the township of the same name, marks the border between Melbourne and neighbouring Geelong city. …show more content…

to the Namoi R., then two subsidiary pipelines each less than 20 km from Namoi R. to Gwydir R. at Kingston and from Gwydir R. to MacIntyre R. at Inverall. A connection from the Condamine R. at Durah Ck. to the Moonie R. at it’s origin completes the distribution to the northern section. The distribution to the southern section is made with the pipeline from the Lachlan R. to the Murrumbidgee R. which already has connections to the Murray R. Existing pipelines & irrigation channels of course will be utilised and may reduce the length of pipelines required.
The Murray Darling basin is a huge environmental space in the inner of Southeastern Australia. Its name resulted from its two main rivers, the Murray River and the Darling River. The basin is one of the most important agrarian areas in Australia.
The population is approximately 23 million people, with 85% of the people living along the Northeastern coast (Australian Government Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade, 2016). Australia lies between the South Pacific and Indian Oceans, geographically leaving the countries lands susceptible to climates ranging from hot, cold, to dry. The Alps provide the majority of the cold climate, located in the Southeastern corner of the country. The country also sees plenty of severe rainstorms formed in the countries Northeastern corner where the Great Barrier Reef is located (What are the 7 Continents , 2017). Although flat and low terrain features promote vast deserts and dominate Australia, the Southeast and Southwest areas are rich with fertile land utilized by Austrian farmers whom grow crops and raise farm animals.
Located in the middle and, as its name suggests, the south of the country, South Australia has both coastal and

The Mallee country of north western Victoria (near Mildura) was a desert. Through the Mallee along Victoria’s northern border runs the Murray, and it was the river that men’s eyes turned to for the solution of a new problem which emerged one hundred years ago. Alfred Deakin, later to become one of the founding fathers of the Commonwealth and it’s Prime Minister on three occasions, developed a conviction that the only way to settle and develop the northern part of Victoria would be by irrigation. He believed that in this region the fertile soil, the abundant sunshine and the Murray’s plentiful water, which when brought together would make even the inhospitable Mallee region
The Nullarbor Plain is a karst landscape located on the border of South Australia and Western Australia. It stretches across 200,000km squared. It is the Australia's largest karst landscape and it is the world's largest piece of limestone. It is located 30.7678 degrees south and 128.9700 degrees east. The Nullarbor Plain is elevated at 64 metres above sea-level.
The South Saskatchewan River watershed flows from the Northern shores of Lake Diefenbaker out of the Gardiner Dam towards the City of Saskatoon. It continues north to eventually become the Saskatchewan River (shown in Figure 1 below). The North Saskatchewan River watershed flows eastwards across Edmonton, Alberta and joins with the South Saskatchewan River watershed to form the Saskatchewan River watershed. These watersheds provide many recreational attractions such as fishing and opportunities for sightseeing, canoeing, fishing and hiking. The Saskatchewan River watershed begins at the confluence of the North and South Saskatchewan River watersheds. From this point, the Saskatchewan River watershed passes through the Saskatchewan Delta, into Lake Winnipeg, which eventually drains into Hudson Bay through the Nelson River. Figure 1 shows a map of the South Saskatchewan, North Saskatchewan and the Saskatchewan River Watersheds.
Confined Leederville aquifer: is a significant freshwater aquifer located in the south west of Western Australia and predominantly beneath the Swan Coastal Plain west of the Darling Scarp.
The Basin can be found in South-Eastern Australia and mostly in the New South Wales, with a hot semi-arid North and North-East and a warm semi-arid South due to the proximity of the Southern Pacific Ocean ("About The Murray Darling Basin", 2016); vegetation consists of mostly small shrubs and sparse to semi-dense trees. The two largest rivers are the Murray and the Darling. They both find headwaters in the Australian Alps, along with other tributaries which flow into the basin, and are influenced by seasonal rainfall but also the La Nina and El Nino oceanic patterns. The basin itself is a flat plain located on what is known as the Murray Darling Depression (MDD).
