The Murray Darling Basin Plan will see the biggest changes to water management in the Basin since Federation. The Basin Plan aims to deliver a “healthy working basin” in which “the natural ecosystem has been altered by the use of water for human benefit, but in which the altered system retains its ecological integrity while […]
Reconciling geochemical and physical tracers of groundwater-stream interactions
Calculations of groundwater inflows to streams, assuming that groundwater and surface runoff are the two major reservoirs, using environmental tracers (e.g., Cl or Rn) and physical techniques based on analysing stream hydrographs commonly yield different results. In general, geochemical techniques produce lower estimates of baseflow than physical techniques and, even within the suite of geochemical […]
