New research led by UNSW Sydney’s Centre for Ecosystem Science has revealed the alarming extent of decline of streamflow in one of the continent’s longest rivers, the Murrumbidgee River in Australia’s Murray-Darling Basin.
Over the past three decades, the river has lost 55% of its water at the town of Hay, due to the building of dams and upstream water diversions for human activities
