The Murray-Darling Basin covers 1 061 469 square kilometres, which is about 14% of the Australian continent.
Note that the Murray River and Darling River are two separate and distinct rivers. Contrary to popular belief, the Murray-Darling basin is not fed by a single river, but by two major rivers, the Murray and the Darling, and numerous tributaries. The total length of the rivers and their tributaries, according to Geoscience Australia, is 6695km, just over half the length of the Nile River.
