Ord: Region overview
The Ord River is one of the most significant waterways in northern Australia. A distinctive feature is Lake Argyle, a Ramsar-listed wetland of international importance, and Australia's largest human-made storage. It supports irrigated agriculture and hydroelectric generation in the region. Over the next few years, the region is undergoing substantial further development of irrigated farmland.
