Liffey River (Tasmania)
The Liffey River is a river in Northern Tasmania, Australia. Route and catchment area It flows from Projection Bluff on the north side of Dry's Bluff in the Great Western Tiers to the Meander River near Carrick, and is one of its main tributaries. The Liffey has a modern catchment area of which has been modified by human activity, specifically diversion for irrigation. Flow is highly seasonal with the largest average monthly flows from July to September. The flow, and effective catchment area, are affected by irrigation diversion. Excess flow from the Cressy-Longford irrigation scheme is diverted into the river increasing summer flow in the river's lower reaches. This irrigation diversion originates at the Poatina Hydroelectric Power Station's tailrace and enters the river near Bracknell. Though the upper hills are known for their cool temperate rainforest, land along most of the river's length is used for agriculture. Water quality in the lower reaches is affected by agricu ...
