  • There Has Been an Italian Presence in the Riverland Since
    1 Building blocks of settlement: Italians in the Riverland, South Australia By Sara King and Desmond O’Connor The Riverland region is situated approximately 200 km. north-east of Adelaide and consists of a strip of land on either side of the River Murray from the South Australian-Victorian border westwards to the town of Morgan. Covering more than 20,000 sq. km., it encompasses the seven local government areas of Barmera, Berri, Loxton, Morgan, Paringa, Renmark and Waikerie.1 The region was first identified as an area of primary production in 1887 when two Canadian brothers, George and William Chaffey, were granted a licence to occupy 101,700 hectares of land at Renmark in order to establish an irrigated horticultural scheme. By 1900 a prosperous settlement had developed in the area for the production of vines and fruit, and during the 1890s Depression other ‘village settlements’ were established down river by the South Australian Government to provide work for the city-based unemployed.2 During the years between the foundation of the villages and the First World War there was intense settlement, especially around Waikerie, Loxton, Berri and Barmera, as the area was opened up and increased in value.3 After World War 1, the SA Government made available new irrigation blocks at Renmark and other localities in the Riverland area to assist the resettlement of more than a thousand returned soldiers. A similar scheme operated in New South Wales, where returned servicemen were offered blocks in Leeton and Griffith, in the Murrumbidgee Irrigation Area.4 The period after World War 2 saw further settlement of returned soldiers on fruit blocks in the Riverland and new irrigation areas were developed to cater for this growth.

    River Murray – Darling to Sea Expert Technical Workshop, 1-3 July Part B - Workshop Outcomes 2: Threats 57 River Murray – Darling to Sea Expert Technical Workshop, 1-3 July Part B - Workshop Outcomes 2: Threats Threats and Future Trends Climate Change A recent Pew Centre report on Aquatic Ecosystems and Global Climate Change1 reported: Increases in water temperatures as a result of climate change will alter fundamental ecological processes and the geographic distribution of aquatic species. Such impacts may be ameliorated if species attempt to adapt by migrating to suitable habitat. However, human alteration of potential migratory corridors may limit the ability of species to relocate, increasing the likelihood of species extinction and loss of biodiversity. Changes in seasonal patterns of precipitation and runoff will alter hydrologic characteristics of aquatic systems, affecting species composition and ecosystem productivity. Populations of aquatic organisms are sensitive to changes in the frequency, duration, and timing of extreme precipitation events, such as floods or droughts. Aquatic ecosystems have a limited ability to adapt to climate change. Reducing the likelihood of significant impacts to these systems will be critically dependent on human activities that reduce other sources of ecosystem stress and enhance adaptive capacity. The impacts of anthropogenic induced climate change lead to increased temperature and reduced rainfall. Reduced rainfall and changed seasonality of rainfall can have a significant effect runoff (in general, a 1% decline in rainfall equates to a 2-3% decline in runoff). In addition, changes to local rainfall patterns can have an important influence on associated wetlands (averaged annual rainfall and modelled runoff are shown by figure below).
