  • 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.
