Rivers

Australia plotted by every mapped stream and river… all 1.3 million of them!

Map created with QGIS using data for 1.3 million streams from Geoscience Australia GEODATA TOPO 250K vector datasets. Many arid-zone rivers and streams in these maps are highly ephemeral, and may only flow once every few years or even decades. Streams are weighted by both ephemerality (perennial or non-perennial) and hierarchy (minor or major), with the highest weighting for major perennial rivers (i.e. Murray River).
