Challenge
Caring for the Murray- Darling
Basin |
 The Murray-Darling Basin faces some challenges if
the area is to survive and prosper. The water in the Basins' rivers
is becoming spoiled, wetlands are drying up, native fish are
struggling to survive and many areas of land are becoming too salty
for plants to grow.
 Some of the major challenges
facing the Murray-Darling Basin are:
. To improve the quality of the
water.
. To discover ways of sharing the water for the long
term.
. To keep the river systems healthy.
. To manage the
land in a way that provides jobs for the community while at the same
time taking care of the environment.
Because the Basin is so important for Australia, if
the region is allowed to deteriorate it will affect every
Australian, whether they live in the city or the
country.
