Synopis Sheets MURRAY DARLING UK
Synopsis sheets Rivers of the World THE MURRAY- DARLING BASIN Initiatives pour l’Avenir des Grands Fleuves The Murray-Darling Basin Australia is the driest inhabited continent on the planet: deserts make up more than two thirds of the country. 90% of the population is concentrated in the southeast, around the Murray-Darling basin and on the coast. This basin is the country’s largest hydrographic network, with a surface area of 1,059,000 km² (14% of the Australian territory), stretching from the Australian Alps to the Indian Ocean. Although it harbours 70% of Australia’s irrigated land and 40% of its agricultural production, it is not spared from water shortages that now affect the rest of the country due to climate change and a lifestyle and economy that consume considerable volumes of water. A laboratory for adapting to water stress The origins The River Murray, called “Millewa” by the Aboriginal traditional owners, has been central to human livelihoods for over 40000 years. Its exploitation was then accelerated in the 19 th century, first as a navigable waterway and as a means for trading by European and other settlers. Development of the river basin quickly led to the degradation of an already fragile ecosystem. In addition to droughts, massive use of the rivers’ waters, firstly for irrigation, and the transformation of the land through grazing and deforestation contributed to the salinisation ot the land and waters. The basin has always seen great variability: severe droughts and floods, that are being accentuated with climate change. 2013, 2014, 2015, 2017 and 2018 have seen some areas in the basin with the hottest temperatures ever recorded.

Water Cycle with Zero Discharge at Tumut Pulp and Paper Mill New South Wales - Australia
WATER CYCLE WITH ZERO DISCHARGE AT TUMUT PULP AND PAPER MILL NEW SOUTH WALES - AUSTRALIA OTTO SZOLOSI, Senior Projects Engineer - Water/Waste Water/Irrigation, [email protected] VISY PAPER PROJECTS, Building D, 13 Reo Crescent, Campbellfield, Victoria, 3061 Australia Abstract The Tumut Visy Pulp and Paper Mill is one of the cleanest mills in the world, reflecting Visy Industries’ commitment to sustainable manufacturing. Visy Industries have developed a new Pulp and Paper Mill in Tumut, NSW – Australia, which showcased innovative environmental and sustainable energy technologies, including the biggest continuous biomass energy facility in Australia. Construction of the mill began in 1999 and was complete it by 2001. Total investment in the project was AUD$435 million. The Tumut Mill used extensive industry experience and many well-known companies in the paper industry to engineer an advanced mill concept with zero levels of effluent leaving the site. Careful project planning included steps to minimise raw water intake, maximise reuse opportunities and reduce effluent. The Tumut Pulp and Paper Mill produces 300,000 tonnes of unbleached kraft pulp and paper board per year, from around 800,000 tones of pine plantation pulp logs and forest waste plus recycled paper, cardboard and sawmill residues, using advanced cleaner production technology and achieving significant reuse. Per tonne of pulp, it is one of the most resource efficient and pollution free operations in the world. Its raw water consumption (4.61 m3/tonne of paper) and effluent discharge (1.53 m3/tonne of paper) are believed to be the lowest in the world. Treated effluent is irrigated on a 110 ha farm, around the Mill producing fodder for cattle.
