Body

The Great Artesian Basin (GAB) has provided a valuable resource for the development of rangelands in Australia. Management recommendations for the basin currently, and in the past, primarily concentrate on water conservation. Environmental, economic and social impacts were initially under-appreciated, and are still poorly recognised. These aspects should be included in management plans to ensure appropriate and sustainable use of the basin.
