How many square kilometers is the Murray-Darling Basin?
The Murray-Darling Basin covers 1,061,469 square meters. The Murray-Darling Basin is 14% of the total area of Australia (7,692,024 square kilometers)
The water in the Murray Darling river system comes from a very small part of the basin; mostly along the South-East rim. Nearly 80% of the whole basin area, gives very little or no regular run-off to rivers.
Explain why the rivers of the Darling catchment contribute only a small amount of water to the flow in the River Murray.
