I did an internship there 10 years ago, and one of the locals told me that some streams just don't run anymore because there's not enough rain.

What would the expected decline in river flow be?

He said the data suggests that for every one degree of warming, there is a 15 per cent decline in run-off, or river flow, in the Murray Darling Basin….
