  • When the River Runs Dry: Human and Ecological Values of Dry Riverbeds
    CONCEPTS AND QUESTIONS 202 When the river runs dry: human and ecological values of dry riverbeds Alisha L Steward1,2*, Daniel von Schiller3, Klement Tockner4, Jonathan C Marshall1, and Stuart E Bunn2 Temporary rivers and streams that naturally cease to flow and dry up can be found on every continent. Many other water courses that were once perennial now also have temporary flow regimes due to the effects of water extraction for human use or as a result of changes in land use and climate. The dry beds of these temporary rivers are an integral part of river landscapes. We discuss their importance in human culture and their unique diversity of aquatic, amphibious, and terrestrial biota. We also describe their role as seed and egg banks for aquatic biota, as dispersal corridors and temporal ecotones linking wet and dry phases, and as sites for the storage and processing of organic matter and nutrients. In light of these valuable functions, dry riverbeds need to be fully integrated into river management policies and monitoring programs. We also identify key knowledge gaps and suggest research questions concerning the values of dry riverbeds.

  • SO WHO the HELL WAS ALICE ANYWAY? the Naming of Alice Springs by Greg Barron
    SO WHO THE HELL WAS ALICE ANYWAY? The Naming of Alice Springs by Greg Barron William Whitfield Mills, Overseer of Section C of the Overland Telegraph line from Adelaide to Darwin, was heading north with men and heavy equipment, on the way to the starting point for his section of the line. He wrote in a report to his boss, Charles Todd, Superintendent of Telegraphs: “On the 7th (March 1871) I started again for the Ranges, the drays in the meantime following the Hugh (River). On March 11th I again arrived at the MacDonnell Ranges and was successful in finding a pass, about 30 miles east of Stuart's track, with numerous waterholes and springs, the principal of which is the Alice Spring which I had the honour of naming after Mrs Todd.” Lady Alice Todd, wife of the Superintendent of Telegraphs, inspired not only the name of the town, Alice Springs, but also the Todd River. Who was she, and why did she deserve such adoration? Alice Gillam Bell was born in 1836 in Cambridgeshire, England. When she was twelve years old a young man, Charles Heavitree Todd, assistant Astronomer at the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, came to call on her mother. Alice was lying on a bear skin rug in front of the fire, watching the visitor, impressed by his serious ways and dark good looks. “If no one else will have you, then I will marry you, Mr Todd,” she told him. Unlikely as it must have seemed at the time, the pair exchanged vows a few years later and Charles whisked her away to Adelaide, Australia.

  • Cyclical Coestraction and Destruction of Flood Dominated Flood Plains in Semiarid Australia
    Variability in Stream Erosion and Sediment Transport (Proceedings of the Canberra Symposium, December 1994). IAHS Publ. no. 224, 1994. 113 Cyclical coestraction and destruction of flood dominated flood plains in semiarid Australia MARY C. BOURKE Department of Biogeography and Geomorphology, Research School of Pacific and Asian Studies, Australian National University, Canberra, ACT 0200, Australia Abstract The morphostratigraphy of flood plains along unconfined reaches of the Todd River, central Australia, indicate that flood plain formation is dominated by high magnitude floods. Processes of flood plain destruction include channel widening, vertical stripping, flood channel, back channel and macroturbulent scour. Flood plain construction occurs predominantly during high magnitude floods. Overbank aggradational sequences comprise a complex assemblage of depositional units which include channel and flood plain insets, terrace veneer sedimentation and channel fills separated from each other by erosional unconformities. The resultant sedimentary sequences within the flood plain is best described as chaotic. Mechanisms responsible for the construction and destruction of flood plains operate at three scales. These extend from the alteration of individual sedimentary layers to the complete removal of valley bottom aggradational sequences. The highly complex morphostratigraphy of flood plains in this region negates the application of conventional paleoenvironmental reconstruction techniques. INTRODUCTION The ability of high magnitude floods to
