'The Mighty Murray' |
|||||||||||||||
| Photo: | VU100 | Edition: | Open | ||||||||||||
| Description: | The Murray is arguably Australia's most important river, but this idyllic scene belies the fact that the river is in deep trouble. Ongoing drought and the extraction of large volumes of water for irrigation, the disruption of its natural flow by weirs and locks, the run-off from agriculture and not the least, the introduction of alien species such as the European carp, have all contributed to irreparable damage. | ||||||||||||||
