  • And Sediment Murray-Darling Basin
    Sediment Transfer through the Fluvial System (Proceedings of a symposium held in Moscow, August 2004). IAHS Publ. 288, 2004 245 Patterns of erosion and sediment transport in the Murray-Darling Basin RONALD DE ROSE1, IAN PROSSER2 & MARTIN WEISSE3 1 CSIRO Land and Water, GPO Box 1666, Canberra, ACT 2601, Australia [email protected] 2 Land & Water Australia, GPO Box 2182, Canberra, ACT 2601, Australia 3 Institute of Geography, Schneiderberg 50, D-30167 Hanover, Germany Abstract The Murray-Darling Basin in the southeast of Australia covers approx. 1 x 106 km2, equivalent to 14% of the country’s total area. Accelerated erosion, primarily in upland regions, has greatly degraded river habitats over the past century. Here we describe the results from the basin-wide sediment modelling for this region using SedNet: a spatially distributed sediment routing model which predicts sediment loads, together with bed, flood plain and reservoir deposition. Comparisons are made between current (past 100 years) and natural (pre-European) conditions. The results demonstrate that the basin is one of sediment redistribution rather than net sediment export. The basin is estimated to have 18% of rivers with >100 times natural loads. Erosion of gullies and riverbanks has also resulted in 11 000 km (13% of the total) to have historical accumulation of over 0.3 m of sand and gravel averaged over the river length. Key words erosion; Murray-Darling Basin, Australia; sediment budget; sediment load; spatial model INTRODUCTION Extensive modification to the natural environment in many parts of Australia began with the arrival of European farmers in the early part of the 19th century.

Alought the percentage may seem small as an average (Approx. 17% per annum) large flows have at times contributed markedly in times when the Lower Murray River had periods of low or no flow. This was especially evident during the Millennium Drought when a large flow was shepherded through to the Lower Lakes and Coorong thereby averting what would have been a natural disaster and the possibility of Adelaide running out of water.

    THE LIVING MURRAY Information Paper No. 10 IPTLM0010 Health of the River Murray Menindee Lakes, the Lower Darling River and Darling Anabranch) Contents Environmental assets within the river zone Current condition of environmental assets Reasons why some environmental assets have declined in value What can be done to restore environmental values? Existing environmental flows initiatives The system-wide perspective References Introductory Note Please note: The contents of this publication do not purport to represent the position of the Murray-Darling Basin Commission. The intention of this paper is to inform discussion for the improvement of the management of the Basin’s natural resources. 2 Environmental assets within the river zone The lower Darling River system is located at the downstream end of the River Murray system in NSW and is marked by Wentworth to the south and Menindee to the north. It encompasses the Menindee Lakes system, the Darling River below Menindee and the Great Anabranch of the Darling River (referred to hereafter as the Darling Anabranch) and associated lakes. These are iconic riverine and lake systems within the Murray-Darling Basin. In addition, a vital tributary and operating system feeds the lower River Murray. The climate of the area is semi-arid with an annual average rainfall of 200 mm at Menindee (Auld and Denham 2001) and a high potential annual evaporation of 2,335 mm (Westbrooke et al. 2001). It is hot in summer (5–46oC) and mild to cold in winter (-5–26oC). In particular, the lower Darling River system is characterised by clusters of large floodplain lakes, 103 to 15,900 ha in size, located at Menindee and along the Darling Anabranch.

Wandering rivers are important because they Toronto, M5S 3G3, Canada. provide habitat complexity for aquatic organisms, including salmonids. An anabranch cycle E-mail: [email protected] model was developed from previous literature and field observations to illustrate how anabranches within the wandering pattern change from single to multiple channels and vice versa over a number of decades. The model was used to investigate the temporal dynamics of a wandering river through historical case studies and channel characteristics from field data. The wandering Renous River, New Brunswick, was mapped from aerial photographs (1945, 1965, 1983 and 1999) to determine river pattern statistics and for historical analysis of case studies. Five case studies consisting of a stable single channel, newly formed anabranches, anabranches gaining stability following creation, stable anabranches, and an abandoning anabranch were investigated in detail.
