Warrego River, an intermittent river that is part of the Darling catchment within the Murray–Darling basin, is located in the south west of Queensland and in the Orana region of New South Wales, Australia. The Warrego River is northernmost tributary of the Darling River. The river rises from below Mount Ka Ka Mundi in the Carnarvon Range, near Tambo in Queensland, and flows generally south, reaching its confluence with the Darling River, downstream from Bourke. The river is joined by thirty-seven tributaries, including the Nive and Langlo rivers; dropping over the course of its length. The river flows through a series of reservoirs, including the Dillalah Waterhole, Ten Mile Waterhole, Lower Lila Dam, Six Mile Dam, Turtle Waterhole, and Boera Dam.〔 The towns of Augathella, Charleville, Wyandra, and Cunnamulla are located on the banks of the river. The name ''Warrego'' is an Australian Aboriginal word from the Bidyara language, believed to mean "bad"; and is also an Aboriginal term meaning "river of sand".〔(Warrego River - Things To See and Do - Queensland Holidays )〕 ==Inflows== Most of the basin of the Warrego is too dry for cropping and has a very erratic rainfall of between . It is covered with a natural vegetation of grassland of more fertile clay soils, and saltbush shrubland on less fertile red earths. The predominant land use is low-intensity grazing of sheep and cattle: the river's flow is much too erratic to permit irrigated cropping. The Warrego is essentially an ephemeral stream: it is not unknown for years to pass without any flow in the basin and substantial amounts of water reach the Darling River only in wet years almost always associated with ''La Niña'' events. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Warrego River」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
