Australia has many significant and beautiful landforms that are valuable and unique. These landforms provide many benefits that have important outcomes for the economy, and the survival of life and vegetation in Australia.
Australia’s most precious landforms are its water bodies each of which has a very important role for the survival of life and vegetation in Australia. The two largest and most important water bodies in Australia are its large natural inland lakes and man made dams; both these landforms provide the essential water needs to the vast areas of the dry Australian continent.
The natural water bodies are large inland lakes, which collect rainfall from the many widespread river systems throughout Australia. The man made water bodies are the large dams built to hold large volumes of water so necessary for food production and human consumption.
Australia’s man made water bodies are called dams. These are concrete walls that hold back large amounts of water for framing, drinking and power generation. The biggest is the snowy mountains scheme which has sixteen man made dams. These provide water and power to much of New South Wales and Victoria.
Australia has its water supply provided by its natural river systems. There are ten large river systems in Australia. The most significant is the Murray Darling Rivers that supplies water to the three states of New South Wales, Victoria and South Australia.
The Murray River affects the livelihood and well-being of millions of Australians, both urban and rural citizens. The Murray provides domestic water supplies for over 1.5 million people as well as irrigation systems that support agriculture and industry along the entire length of the river.
Australia also has some other natural landforms such as its large rock formations. Uluru in the Northern Territory and Wave Rock in Western Australia. Uluru is the most famous. These
