7 impor­tant SA riv­er sys­tems you may not have heard about

While the Mur­ray may be South Australia’s most well-known riv­er, there are oth­er sig­nif­i­cant riv­er sys­tems in our state that are an inte­gral part of our com­mu­ni­ties, cul­ture and envi­ron­ment.

Wet year for SA is (most­ly) good news for the environment

2022 was a wet year for most of South Aus­tralia, result­ing in a range of envi­ron­men­tal impacts – large­ly pos­i­tive. The year kicked off with extreme weath­er events in Jan­u­ary and end­ed with a once-in-a-gen­er­a­tion Riv­er Mur­ray flood, in a year when above-aver­age rain­fall was received across much of the state. The high­er rain­fall – around 38 per cent more than usu­al, aver­aged across the state – means good things for many local envi­ron­ments and the com­mu­ni­ties that rely on them. After 3 suc­ces­sive La Niña events, it’s been a case of ​‘just add water’ to see things grow or breed.

Native ani­mals, while dear to our hearts, are some­times in con­flict with humans when they com­pete for food, water, refuge and space. When this hap­pens, the terms over­abun­dant, impact caus­ing or prob­lem­at­ic may be used. Find out more about what this means and how the issue is managed.
