Large scale forest plantations in the Murray–Darling Basin are a possible carbon sequestration mechanism which may be adopted in response to the introduction of a carbon price. However, increased tree plantation will be associated with reduced inflows to river systems because of increased...

It is likely that climate change will be associated with reductions in inflows of water to the Murray–Darling Basin. In this study, we analyse the effects of climate change in the Murray–Darling Basin using a simulation model that incorporates a state-contingent representation of...

For an irrigator, investments in on-farm water infrastructure that increase the marginal productivity of water may improve use efficiency. However, increasing on-farm water use efficiency invariably diminishes return flows, compromising the ability to maintain sufficient water flows in streams...
