The Basin, Victoria

Snowmobiling on Priest Mountain In late May I never pictured myself carving a highmark on Priest Mountain. Priest Mountain is nestled on the east edge of the Grand Mesa National Forest. Deep sugary snow and feathery blue spruce trees cover the mountain and the area around. One fine day it occurred that I had the opportunity to carve my highmark and I still I have the mental image of my territory after that day. Even before that day, Priest has left a impression on me. Priest Mountain, for me

systems that pull groundwater and drainage water from the environment diverting them into a salt basin away from the river. This process is effective as it prevents more than half a million tons of salt yearly from threatening the waterway and reduces the electric conductivity, which means the amount of

Murray-Darling Basin The Murray Darling Basin is a river catchment located in Victoria, Queensland and New South Wales. It is one of the most iconic basins in Australia. Today we will be talking about the history of the basin and the people who live there. Over 2 million people live in the Basin but, people who live outside the Basin still heavily rely on the water from it, so over a total of 3.3 million people need water from the Basin. The basin also supplies food for these aboriginal people,

seen in my life. Vic picked up her journal and made a few notes about the mermaid's behavior that she had seen so far. When she was finished, she placed the book beside her and slipped off of her hammock, casting one look at the specimen in the basin across the room, before slipping out onto the main deck, and down the steps leading into a hallway. She walked through the large doors and into the dining hall, where the rest of her crew was gathered, except the ones on night duty. She was greeted

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

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

The Zambezi River reaches a length of 1,600 miles before it empties into the Indian Ocean with an average discharge of 247,240 cubic feet per second. Furthermore, the Zambezi River is split into three sections: the upper, middle, and lower river. Victoria Falls—the world’s largest waterfall—is considered the boundary between the upper and middle Zambezi River. There are also two main dams built on the Zambezi that harness enough energy to power most of Zambia, Zimbabwe, and South Africa. Finally,

It consists of two main creek catchments, east creek and west creek catchments. In January 2011 there was a main flooding event which caused a large flood event that is described as an “Inland Tsunami”. Figure 1 - Catchment map of Toowoomba

is most commonly found in Lake Victoria or they can sometimes be found in the Nile river in Egypt ( Lipton, 2003) (Schofield, 2012). The Nile Perch is a large fish it’s about 6 feet long and weighs 300 pounds ( The editors of Encyclopedia Britannica, 2008). This fish is also known by several different names one including the Victorian Perch due to its location in Lake Victoria. “In the 1950s the Nile Perch was introduced into Lake Victoria to boost the fishing community.”
