	Murrumbidgee River - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Murrumbidgee River is a major river in the state of New South Wales, Australia.
		The river's source in the Fiery Range of the Snowy Mountains, part of the Australian Alps near Mount Kosciuszko and it flows to a confluence with the Murray River.
		The river system's current channels are relatively new with the Upper Murrumbidgee being an anabranch of the Tumut River (that once continued north along Mutta Mutta Creek) when geological uplift near Adaminaby diverted its flow.

	Riverina Study Tour Part 4
		The Murrumbidgee Irrigation Area depends on water reserved in Burrynjuck Dam, built on the upper reaches of the Murrumbidgee river in 1912 for the express purpose of maintaining a regular water supply for irrigation in the region north of the river on land reclaimed from the Yanco north and Gogeldrie station properties.

		The major impacts affecting the rivers and streams of the Upper Murrumbidgee River catchment include chemical pollutants, trace metal contamination, nutrient enrichment, rural runoff, habitat degradation, sedimentation and river regulation.
		With the exception of river regulation, all the described impacts are directly related to land use practices.
		River regulation can cause a variety of effects from deoxygenated release waters to alterations in flow and sediment transport (Ward and Stanford 1979).

		Using one of the State's largest irrigation rivers, the Murrumbidgee in the Murray-Darling Basin, the research team will examine impacts of regulated flow and assess changes to flow resulting from the implementation of recent NSW water reforms.
		Professor Kath Bowmer, CSU Deputy Vice-Chancellor and Chair of the Murrumbidgee River Management Committee said the State-wide water reforms have been put in place to improve the flow of water and to recover the environment along major river systems.
		"Aquatic ecosystems and the wetlands along the Murrumbidgee valley have adapted to this pattern which triggered bird and fish breeding and flushed the river at regular periods," she said.

		The poor state of the rivers' ecological systems is blamed on the release of cold water from dams, the introduction of exotic fish species, the clearing of riverside vegetation, the use of insecticides and salination.
		The recommendations that much of the Murrumbidgee River be declared an endangered Ecological community have highlighted the need for continuing the environmental planning work of the community-based Murrumbidgee River Management Committee.
		The Murrumbidgee River Management Committee has been working towards improving the problems indicated in the recommendation in both the Murrumbidgee and Tumut Rivers for the past three years, Committee Chair, Kath Bowmer said.

		The Murrumbidgee River starts on the edge of the Great Dividing Range in the Kosciusko National Park and flows through a diverse landscape for a total of 1,600 km, until its confluence with the Murray River.
		The Murrumbidgee catchment is a major sub-catchment of the Murray Darling Basin, covering an area of about 73,400 km2.
		The Burrinjuck Reservoir divides the Murrumbidgee River into the upper and lower catchments, where the river flows through a narrow gorge.

	Nomination of Lower Murrumbidgee Catchment for UNESCO's HELP Pilot Demonstration Status
		Burrinjuck Dam (1026 GL capacity on the Murrumbidgee River, built in 1913) and Blowering Dam (163 GL on the Tumut river, built in 1968) are the major surface water storages in the study area.
		Altered flows are believed to be important contributors to the decline in river health manifested in ways such as increasing algal blooms, declines in native fish numbers and increases in exotic species, and decline of wetlands (due to lack of water in some instances, and permanent inundation of some wetlands).
		Maintaining flows for irrigation is in competition with increasing the flows in the river for all downstream users (who are demanding that irrigation allocations be reduced to maintain flows and reduce salinity levels in river).

		A challenge in interdisciplinary river science is to dissect patterns and processes in multi-causal river ecosystems into hierarchical levels of organization.
		The character and distribution of large wood was uniform at the largest reach scale (95 km length of river) because stream energy conditions are relatively uniform within a reach.
		However, there was an association between lower-level functional sets (straight or bend sections of river) and functional units (12 quadrats within each functional set) and the character and distribution of large wood, because stream energy differs between straight and bend morphologies, and the inner- and outer-channel functional units.
