Murrumbidgee River

The Murrumbidgee River is a major waterway in southeastern Australia, stretching about 900 kilometers. It originates in the Snowy Mountains and flows westward, passing through New South Wales and the Australian Capital Territory before joining the Murray River. The river supports agriculture, provides drinking water, and sustains ecosystems along its course. It features diverse landscapes, including forests, wetlands, and floodplains, and is vital for regional communities’ environmental and economic health. Its flow and health are influenced by rainfall, land use, and water management practices.
