Soil classification

Soils in the Murrumbidgee vary from sand to clay, with the western plains being dominated by finer-textured soils and the eastern slopes being dominated by medium-to-coarse textured soils (McKenzie et al., 2001). The figures below show the geology and the related soil texture distribution across the entire catchment. While, there are more detailed soil texture maps available for some parts of the Murrumbidge Catchment, particularly in the Kyeamba area (Chen and McKane, 1997), this is the best information available for the catchment as a whole. Soil type and lithology data have been sourced by the Bureau of Rural Sciences, Australia.
