	Warrego River - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

	Flood Warning System for the Warrego River
		The Warrego River catchment is located in south west Queensland and north west New South Wales and covers an area of approximately 65,000 square kilometres.
		Historical flood heights for all river stations in the Warrego River Floodwarning network, as shown on the map, are available from the Bureau of Meteorology upon request.
		At each flood warning river height station, the severity of flooding is described as minor, moderate or major according to the effects caused in the local area or in nearby downstream areas.

	HMAS Warrego (1912-1928)
		HMAS Warrego was built in Scotland and then dismantled and shipped to Sydney where she was reconstructed at the Cockatoo Island shipyard to provide it with construction experience.
		Warrego led the Australian destroyer force into Port Jackson as part of the ceremonial entry of the Australian Fleet Unit on 4 October 1913.
		Warrego returned to Australia in February 1915 and was employed on patrol work locally and in Malayan, Philippines and East Indies waters.

	HMAS WARREGO (I) - HMA Ship Histories (Sea Power Centre - Australia)
		HMAS WARREGO was one of six River Class Torpedo Boat Destroyers built for the Royal Australian Navy between 1909 and 1916.
		It was during this period, on 24 January 1916, that Commander Cumberlage was appointed in command of the cruiser ENCOUNTER and Lieutenant Commander W.H.F. Warren assumed command of the Destroyer Flotilla.
		WARREGO continued to be employed on anti-submarine and escort duties until the end of hostilities in November 1918.

		The Darling is the longest river in Australia, measuring 2,740 km from its source to its confluence with the Murray at Wentworth.
		The longest continuous stretch of river is from the source of the Condamine, about 100 km south-west of Brisbane, to the mouth of the Murray, less than 100 kilometres south-east of Adelaide, a distance of approximately 3,750 km.
		It is perhaps not surprising that the name of the Warrego river in the north-west of the MD basin means "river of sand".

	Cunnamulla (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-18)
		The town of Cunnamulla, which the largest of the four towns in the Paroo Shire, is situated on the banks of the Warrego River and is the southern starting point on the Matilda Highway, a highway that travels through Outback Queensland and connects New South Wales to the Gulf country in far north Queensland.
		The rich plains and river flats were ideal for sheep and cattle grazing and these primary industries played a key role in the growth of the town.
		The Warrego River occasionally poses a threat to the town, especially when large and prolonged rainfall occurs in the catchment.

	Wikinfo \| Murray-Darling Basin
		The many rivers it contains tend to be long and slow-flowing, and carry a volume of water that is large only by Australian standards.
		It is here that most of the water in the rivers of the basin originates, either as rainfall or (in the case of the Australian Alps which straddle the New South Wales-Victoria border) as winter snowfall).
		On the horizon are the River Red Gums on the banks of the Murray River.

	Explorations in Australia
		On Thursday, the 1st of June, this river holding a definite course to the westward, and he being clear of the points of the hills, which hitherto had hindered him greatly, he determined to return, as he was running short of provisions.
		All the rivers that had been tried as guides to the hidden interior having failed to answer the purpose, the Murrumbidgee -- the beautiful river of the aboriginals -- was selected as the scene of the next attempt.
		The river, however, was shoaling rapidly, and from the opposite side there projected a sand-spit; on each side of this narrow passage infuriated fls had gathered, and there was no mistaking their intentions.

		The National River Health Program continued to build a foundation for the sustainable use and protection of Australia's water resources in partnership with state and territory governments, research organisations, industry and the community.
		River health assessment outputs, including river assessments and techniques developed under the program, are being utilised by state government agencies, community and industry via the program's web site and capacity building seminars, workshops and meetings.
		The major national task is to integrate the needs of the environment with water allocations for agricultural irrigation, mining, secondary industries and domestic use, and the management of floods to reduce threats to life and property.

	Bourke
		On the banks of the Darling River almost 800km north-west of Sydney, the once thriving river port of Bourke was the highest town on the Darling from which barges filled with cargos of wool could be shipped downstream.
		Although surrounded by dry plains the town is surprisingly green owing to the irrigation for citrus orchards and cotton crops.
		Bourke was a bustling river port from the 1860s to the 1930s, and there are some fine examples of riverboat-era architecture, including the huge reconstructed wharf which can be explored – from here a track winds along the magnificent, tree-lined river.

		The North-west Bay River Catchment Committee is rehabilitating and managing the riparian zone to reduce erosion by revegetating river banks, excluding livestock and reinstating adequate water flows to the river.
		A range of broader river health related activities were funded under the program during 2000-01, including an independent assessment of jurisdictional reports on the environmental achievements of the Council of Australian Governments' Water Reforms.
		In addition, river health assessment techniques are increasingly being used to inform and set biological water quality standards to maintain and protect the ecological health of Australia's rivers and streams.

	April - Peery Lake
		Native fish populations on the Paroo River and its lakes are amongst the healthiest in the Murray-Darling Basin rivers, despite the presence of carp.
		Along the way, the Paroo River fills a floodplain of more than 780,000 ha which, with the Warrego River floodplain of a similar size, remain the most extensive floodplains of any catchment in the Murray-Darling Basin.
		Recognition of the Paroo River’s status as the last free-flowing river in the Murray-Darling Basin and its incredible biological diversity holds some hope that we will not follow history’s well-trodden path of declaring another river ripe for water-resource development without acknowledging the inevitable ecological consequences.

	South West NRM/Murray Darling
		The total area of the catchment is 64,375 km² of which 60% is in Queensland. ; The catchments form the headwaters of the Darling River system and include the streams and tributaries of the Macintyre River, Severn Rivers of NSW and QLD, Pike Creek, Dumaresq River, Macintyre Brook, Weir River, Barwon River and the Moonie River.
		The Border Rivers Catchment drains the New England Tablelands of northern NSW and southern QLD. Further down the catchment are open areas of the slopes and riverine plains of the Weir-Macintyre-Dumaresq and upper Barwon River systems.
		The Border Rivers Waterwatch program is aimed at building awareness of catchment health issues through education (community/schools) and providing the capacity for on-farm and subcatchment water quality monitoring by landholders.

		Probably the most significant difference was the fact that the Bourke region has been occupied by Europeans and their livestock for almost 150 years, and in that time there has been an accelerated and significant change.
		The Warrego River flows into the Darling River, and in the early days this was a major transport artery south and east.
		Looking at the biota one suspects that this is probably as good as it gets, and the luxuriant growth stands in stark contrast to the more normal state of affairs, that of blowing sand and the fight for survival through searing heat.

		Rains in the dense scrubs of the Dawson and Mackenzie rivers brought on fever; the tents were insufficient; no medicines had been brought; the animals strayed or died, and after seven months' wandering without reaching any new country, his whole supplies were expended or lost and he was obliged to return.

		In addition to the field studies, development of FNRC is being simulated using mesocosms within a greenhouse under variable hydrologic conditions in the presence and absence of wetland floodplain vegetation along a biomass gradient.
		These rivers are particularly interesting because of large differences in their hydrologic patterns, resulting primarily from their different management strategies.
		Gross primary production in Cooper Creek was greater than that in the Warrego River, with a mean value of 0.46 g C m-2 day-1 (SE 0.05 g C m-2 day-1) compared to 0.13 g C m-2 day-1 (SE 0.02 g C m-2 day-1).
