متن کاملInvestigating the use of PALSAR for wetland assessment in semi-arid environments of Australia: The Murray-Darling Basin (MDB)
ALOS PALSAR data is used to analyse the flood dynamics of two semi-arid river systems and to characterise and define wetland typologies that result from infrequent and highly variable river flood regimes. The two sites, the Gwydir and the Paroo rivers, are both located within the Murray Darling Basin of eastern Australia. The methods developed have the potential to provide cost effective monito...
متن کاملPrioritizing Wetlands for Waterbirds in a Boom and Bust System: Waterbird Refugia and Breeding in the Murray-Darling Basin

A key strategy for conservation of dryland rivers is identifying and maintaining key sites for biodiversity conservation, particularly protecting the quantity and quality of flow...
متن کاملManaging hydroclimatic risks in federal rivers: a diagnostic assessment.
Hydroclimatic risks and adaptive capacity are not distributed evenly in large river basins of federal countries, where authority is divided across national and territorial governments. Transboundary river basins are a major test of federal systems of governance because key management roles exist at all levels. This paper examines the evolution and design of interstate water allocation instituti...
