Lower Murray Darling - Natural Resource Management region
Regional summary
The Lower Murray Darling catchment region lies in the southwest corner of New South Wales and covers an area of 63 000 sq km. The Murray River forms the southern border of the catchment, which is also intersected by the lower reaches of the Darling River and the Great Darling Anabranch. The region is dominated by a semi-arid climate and highly variable rainfall.
Because much of the Lower Murray Darling region is rangelands, sustainable rangeland management is an important aspect of natural resource management (NRM) in the region.
