	Walkabout - Adelaide River
		The township of Adelaide River lies on the Stuart Highway 201 km northwest of Katherine and 114 km south of Darwin and has a population of 159.
		The river was explored by John McDouall Stuart in 1862, became the site of early settlements at Escape Cliffs and Port Daly, and in recent times was the location for the CSIRO's abortive experiment in rice growing at Humpty Doo.
		The Adelaide River was first discovered by John Lort Stokes and L.R. Fitzmaurice when the HMS Beagle surveyed the coast of the Northern Territory in 1839.

	River shark - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The river sharks are members of the family Carcharhinidae, and thus share the basic characteristics of the group.
		Six species of river sharks are known, although due to their secretive habits, other species could easily be lying undiscovered.
		It is also known from the Alligator River system of the Northern Territory, where it occurs with Glyphis species C. Intriguingly, Glyphis specimens from the Adelaide River, Northern Territory, that have provisionally been identified as this species display very different vertebral counts (148 total vertebrae, versus 217 in specimens from the Bizant River).

	CSIRO - Future of Adelaide's water supply (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		A CSIRO study indicates it is now possible for Adelaide to consider a future water supply free of its dependence on the Murray Darling River system.
		In a normal year Adelaide derives 40% of its water or 70 billion litres per year from the Murray and 60% comes from the Adelaide Hills.
		This should not be seen as an alternative to the current focus on the River Murray but rather as part of the suite of solutions being explored, he says.

		Historically, the high incidence and intensity of phytoplankton blooms in the Port Adelaide River have been attributed to the effects of discharges from the Port Adelaide Wastewater Treatment Plant (PAWWTP).
		A combination of field and laboratory experimentation, and enviromental modelling demonstrated that formation of phytoplankton blooms in the upper Port Adelaide River is due primarily to physical processes rather than variation in nutrient supply (at current levels).
		However, changes in growth potential along the length of the Port Adelaide River also reflect variation in the availability of an additional (as yet unidentified) growth factor which may or may not be related to wastewater or stormwater discharges.

		Water from the River Murray is supplied around the State through five major pipelines.
		The use of the River Murray as a source of water for Adelaide was considered for many years but was not possible until barrages close to the river’s mouth were constructed to prevent saline water entering the lower reaches of the waterway.
