En savoir plus sur le livre
This essential text serves water resources managers, scientists, and ecologists by summarizing the Murray-Darling River system, including its hydrology, ecological assets, land uses (especially irrigation), and the rural communities within the Basin. It covers management aspects such as catchments, natural resources, water resources, irrigation, and monitoring. The book discusses recent major water reforms, particularly the development and implementation of the Basin Plan. It analyzes the necessary policy and institutional reforms—environmental, social, cultural, and economic—to manage the Basin as an integrated system that can adapt to future changes. Six major challenges are identified, especially regarding predicted climate changes that may lead to more frequent droughts and a hotter, drier future. The text concludes with a 'road map' or 'blueprint' for achieving more integrated management of the Basin and shares key lessons applicable to the management of multijurisdictional river systems.
