2. Water management
Australia is a country with poor water
supply, and where the waterway network
is underdeveloped and unevenly spread.
Landlocked areas cover 60% of the
country. In spite of the enormity of
Australia the majority of rivers are no
longer than 1000 km. Only six rivers are
longer than 1000 km. The Indian Ocean
catchment area is 30%, and the Pacific
Ocean catchment area is 9% only.

3. Rain
Precipitation per year is diversified.
Summer precipitation are common in the
north of the continent. In the south, winter
falls are predominant. Precipitation
internally is scant.
The typical feature of precipitation in
Australia is its irregularity. The
precipitation is usually fierce, usually
exceeding the disposable average sum of
downfalls. Australia is often hit by floods
and tropical cyclones.

4. Rivers
The highest concentration of rivers located in the eastern
part of the country where the largest river system in
Australia is. The system of these rivers covers an area of
about one million square kilometers. The largest river is​​
the Darling. A dense network of rivers is located on the
eastern tip of Australia. There is a relatively dense
network of rivers in the west of the country, but these
merely periodic rivers.

5. Lakes
Australia has a large number of lakes. However, the vast
majority of them are landlocked. The biggest number of
these lake are found in the southern part of the Central
Depression. Number of lakes depends heavily on the
size of the precipitation. During sporadic long-lasting
downpours almost the entire central Australia becomes a
huge lake.

6. Drinking water
Researchers from Australia shared with
the world their latest discovery – they
claim to have found vast resources of
fresh water below the bottom of the ocean.
They believe that this discovery will help
future generations survive. In the face of
continuous depletion of existing water
sources, the discovery of Australian
scientists actually seems to be quite
important.
