Im doing the Coorong, theres a few conflicts going on there as well as a couple of policies and is easy to map so if you have a brain fade you should be able to remember sopmething about the Coorong.

SOme of the conflicts include the proposal to flood the region with salt water, policies include the Living Murray iniative.

Management strategies: Water allocation ; Water trading ; Water recovery.
Factors for Conflicts : There are a large number of stakeholders involved, with varying needs for water.
-Water in the Basin is unevenly distributed and river flows are variable
-Technological advancements, such as dams weirs channels, have provided irrigation water to regions where agriculture would not, There is number of governments (local state and fedral) And government departments involved in deciding the allocation and management of water reasources.
eg of conflict
South Australia is located at the end of the system, and is most dependent of the basin states on the waters of the Murray. It is the most water-stressed state in the Besin, even thought it is garanendteed supplies by the upstream states. South Australians may feel that they are at the mercy of the upper States in term of the quality and quantity of the water they receive. THere is a need to ensure  that there is is equuitable access to water to all residents of the Basin, blahblahblah yeah just took that from the book, so i don't fully understand it.
Get your teacher to give the unit 3 and 4 supplement book, its really usefull, it focus's just on the Murry and population.

This is driving me insane as well! I've got info on the North-South Pipeline, but it's hard to find details. Where do you guys all get your info from? The stuff in the text books is very limited when it comes to conflict and my teacher has given me shit-all information.

[hellas_1821]

my teacher gives me a fuck load of newspaper articles...especially on the new government water cuts to push more water into the murray river..huge outrage from farmers all over the MDB

[mba]

Yeah I forgot to mention the conflict over the new basin plan. There was heaps of info/quantification stats to put a case study together, especially from the Weekly Times newspaper a week ago.
