	Liverpool Plains - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Liverpool Plains is a geographical area and Local Government Area (LGA) in north-western New South Wales.
		The Liverpool Plains is a rich agricultural region.
		The Liverpool Plains Council was formed in 2004 by the amalgamation of Quirindi Shire, substantial parts of Parry (Split with Tamworth Regional Council) and Murrurundi Shires, and small parts of Gunnedah Shire.

		We at length entered upon an open and grassy plain, and found in the skirts of the wood beyond it, a channel containing water in abundance, and which was known to the natives as Carrabobbila.* Beyond this channel arose a peaked and picturesque range, whereof the highest summit was named Turi.
		Liverpool plains, which appear to the colonists as if boundless to the northward, were now so far behind us that their most northern limits were barely visible to the southward, in two faint yellow streaks.
		The basin in which these plains are situated belongs however to the Namoi, which receives all their waters; and, in the extensive landscape before me, there appeared to be an opening near Tangulda, through which the whole of these waters probably passed to the north-west.

		Cropping and pastures on the Plains, pastures on the hillslopes, remnant trees on the ranges.
		Recharge control on the Liverpool Plains could possibly be achieved by flooding control but this would require revegetation of the hill slopes with trees and deeply-rooted perennials.
		Rotations involving deeply-rooted perennials on the plains may minimise recharge between floods, improving drainage from the aquifers and creating more storage in the aquifers between flood events.

		Almost one million hectares of Liverpool Plains soil have been surveyed as part of a $301,720 Natural Heritage Trust project to create a comprehensive soil landscape map of the region.
		"As the Liverpool Plains has been a focal catchment for salinity work in the past eight years, it has been essential to get together precise soil and landscape information which is relevant and useful at paddock scale," Rob said.

		Total phosphorus concentrations were highest in the lower reaches of the Namoi basin and in the Liverpool Plains region, with concentrations commonly exceeding 100 µg/L. These high concentrations can be attributed partly to the nutrient rich soils adjacent to the waterways but have been aggravated by the impacts of intensive agricultural activity.

	TRITIUM CONTENT OF SHALLOW GROUNDWATERS IN THELIVERPOOL PLAINS CATCHMENT
		The Liverpool Plains, one of the most fertile and productive agricultural areas in Australia is at risk from rising water tables and dryland salinity.
		Trees were cleared from much of the outcropping hills from the 1890's to the 1930's and the light textured soils were extensively cultivated until the 1950's when the technology became available to crop the heavy textured soils of the plains and the foothills of the Liverpool Ranges.
		The complexity of the hydrogeology is further illustrated by the high frequency of occurrence of old waters in the upper catchment south of Pine Ridge.
