  • Annual Water Outlook 2019-2020
    Annual Water Outlook 2019-2020 30 November 2019 December 2019 marks 100 years since work to build Lake Glenmaggie commenced in 1919. Glenmaggie Weir has brought many benefits to the local district. Its primary purpose is to supply irrigation to the Macalister Irrigation District, but the Lake is also an iconic holiday destination and recreation facility. Introduction The Minister for Water has delegated Southern Rural Water (SRW) with the responsibility for managing surface water licensing, groundwater extraction, storage dams and irrigation districts across the southern third of Victoria. Within this wide geographic area, SRW manages take and use licenses from waterways, farm dam registrations, licences relating to catchment dams and seven major dams, and operates irrigation districts. Water use is primarily for agricultural, urban and industrial purposes. SRW manages the Macalister Irrigation District (MID) in central Gippsland and the Werribee (WID) and Bacchus Marsh (BMID) irrigation districts west of Melbourne. The majority of the water used in the irrigation districts is for primary agricultural production, along with stock and domestic and minor industrial use. Water shares are held by individual customers within the districts and transactions are recorded in the Victorian Water Register. Blue Rock Lake (part of the Latrobe River system) plays a major role in providing cooling water for Victoria’s brown coal power generation. These are bulk entitlements held by the various companies which own and run the power stations. Blue Rock Lake and Lake Glenmaggie have environmental water entitlements (bulk entitlements and water shares respectively) that are managed by the West Gippsland Catchment Management Authority on behalf of the Victorian Environmental Water Holder.

  • Environmental Water Management in the Fitzroy River Valley Information Availability, Knowledge Gaps and Research Needs
    Environmental Water Management in the Fitzroy River Valley Information availability, knowledge gaps and research needs Bradley J. Pusey The University of Western Australia & Jarrod Kath Western Australian Department of Water i Executive Summary The Fitzroy River is the largest river in the Kimberley region of Western Australia and contains significant biological, conservation and geoheritage values. Socio/cultural values, especially Indigenous values, are significant also but are not considered here. Current land use is dominated by rangeland grazing and very limited irrigated agriculture. The water resources of the basin are significant and potentially available for expanded agricultural development but the impact on the environment of increased water use, especially of groundwater is largely unknown. The current report addresses the availability of information that could be used to guide the formation and implementation of management strategies aimed at maintaining existing values. Currently available information useful in this regard is highly limited. Moreover, available information was found to be rarely in a form (i.e. quantitative relationships between flow and environmental factors) that would enable a full assessment of the impacts of different water resource use scenarios to be undertaken. Similarly, there is limited information that could provide the basis for ongoing assessment (i.e. monitoring) of the efficacy of any imposed water management strategies. Significant knowledge gaps were identified relating to five major themes: 1. The nature of aquatic habitats in the basin and their relationship to the flow regime and groundwater and including identity, extent and distribution, connectivity and conservation value; 2. Responses of riparian, floodplain and groundwater dependent vegetation to changes in water regime; 3.
