The efforts made by European and Asian countries to manage different rivers, discussed in this section. 2.1.1 BASIN MANAGEMANT OF EUROPEAN WATER BODIES Since Europe

Introduction The Murray-Darling Basin is Australia’s most iconic and largest river system, covering over 1,000,000 square kilometres, which is 14% of the total area of Australia. It extends from the bottom of Queensland to South Australia. The Basin is the catchment area for the Murray-Darling River located in the interior of South-eastern Australia. Many of the Basin’s natural resources are of high environmental value. It is one of the most significant agricultural areas in Australia, as
This paper will explore how important it is to apply social sciences into ecology and hydrology in a narrower sense, and what effects and changes the socio-hydrology in the Basin Plan has brought to the water management in the MDB. What is socio-hydrology? Human has always been in great need of fresh water for many purposes, and there are three main categories of extractive uses of water from its natural system: agricultural irrigation, industrial
Introduction (background information, purpose of the plan(sustainable basin balance),SDL,wentworth group. SDL: sustainable division limits The purpose of this report is to evaluate the Murray Darling Basin Authority's Basin Plan (MDBA Basin Plan) revised in 2012 and the recommendations made by Wentworth Group as well as the comments made by regional industry and development groups and state governments. The previous version of this plan (the one released in 2010) has not met the its targets and has
requires Australia to conserve its water by utilizing basin to prevent a shortage. One of the most famous water conservatory is Murray-Darling Basin that is located in the South-East of Australia. It has 22 sub-catchments and one of which, is the Mitta Mitta river, which is located in Victoria. The Mitta Mitta river contains 0.9% catchment areas, however, the river contributes 10% of the total water flow in the Murray-Darling Basin. The river flows across Victoria’s alpine scenery from Dartmouth
important environmental resource. The Murray Darling Basin is the water catchment for Australia’s largest river system, consisting of the Murray and Darling rivers, and is one of Australia’s most important agricultural region. It is the main source of water for irrigation of farms and other rural property across Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria and South Australia.The issue concerns the ideas surrounding how water from the Murray Darling Basin should be distributed among the states. In 2012, The
Effects of the Basin Plan on the water management of the Murray-Darling Basin The sustainable and healthy MDB can be made through institutional changes and improving water management. The Water Act and the Basin Plan were enacted for more desirable and applicable improvements by grant of flexibility in water management; however there are still challenges to be adjusted by water bodies. Flexible management Through the Water Act and the Basin Plan, the Commonwealth, the Basin States, and the Murray-Darling
