Introduction Since the publication of Issues Paper No 2 (IP2), which investigated nutrients from dryland diffuse sources, work has been done to more accurately calculate catchment nutrient generation rates. The revised rates are in some cases substantially different from those presented in the original issues paper. This has significant implications for the conclusions originally drawn. The WQWG has decided to prepare this addendum (IP2A) to Issues Paper 2 to canvass these revised conclusions. In addition, the preparation of this addendum allows the opportunity to address some corrections to various parts of the original issues paper and to include some further information, which has since become available. This paper reviews Sections 4.3, 4.6, 5 and 9 of Issues Paper 2. The work of Kelly O’Shannassy (Water Ecoscience), Peter Hopmans (Centre for Forest Tree Technology), and Michael Papworth (CNR) is providing information and comment on sections of this paper is acknowledged. 2. Catchment Nutrient Generation Rates 2.1 Estimating Catchment Nutrient Loads Methods of estimating catchment nutrient generation rates include: determining land use generation rates from a combination of gauged catchment data and literature values and assigning these rates to the estimated area of land use in the catchment assigning ungauged catchments to similar gauged catchments and estimating loads. Both approaches have their problems. The first requires good land use information as well as reliable land use nutrient generation rates. A problem with the second approach is that large areas of the catchment are ungauged (eg northern section of Shires of Yea and Alexandra) - what values do we assign them? There may also be errors associated with scaling up factors. This paper attempts to estimate catchment nutrient loads using both methods. The estimates presented are just that - estimates. They will be updated as more information becomes available. 2.2 Dryland Catchment Area. The total area of the catchment is approximately 2.4 million ha. Of this, approximately 570 000 ha is identified as the “irrigation region” of the catchment (although even this includes substantial dryland areas (71 500 ha (SIRLWSMP 1995)). Page 2 Goulburn Broken Water Quality Working Group Issues Paper 2A - Nutrients From Dryland Diffuse Sources (Addendum) The remaining 1 830 000 ha is identified as the “dryland” part of the catchment. Table 1 shows the dryland part of the catchment split into “old” municipal boundaries. (MAP) Table 1 also estimates areas in the Upper-Mid and Mid-Lower catchment.

Source of areas - Victorian Municipal Directory. The estimated area in Table 1 is in reasonable agreement with the figure of 1 830 000 ha above. 2.3 Catchment Land Use Determining dryland catchment land use is a frustrating exercise. The many different published catchment based land use figures conflict, do not agree and land use classifications vary. As well, the boundary of the “dryland” does not coincide with shire, parish or other reporting boundaries. The land use figures reported in Issues Paper 2 are based on, amongst other things, ABS statistics. For the year data was selected, ABS surveyed only those properties with an “estimated agricultural value of output” greater than $25000. Many farms were excluded. Therefore the total farm area reported using the ABS cannot be relied upon to provide a reasonable guide to catchment land use. (see Table

  • Functioning and Changes in the Streamflow Generation of Catchments
    Ecohydrology in space and time: functioning and changes in the streamflow generation of catchments Ralph Trancoso Bachelor Forest Engineering Masters Tropical Forests Sciences Masters Applied Geosciences A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at The University of Queensland in 2016 School of Earth and Environmental Sciences Trancoso, R. (2016) PhD Thesis, The University of Queensland Abstract Surface freshwater yield is a service provided by catchments, which cycle water intake by partitioning precipitation into evapotranspiration and streamflow. Streamflow generation is experiencing changes globally due to climate- and human-induced changes currently taking place in catchments. However, the direct attribution of streamflow changes to specific catchment modification processes is challenging because catchment functioning results from multiple interactions among distinct drivers (i.e., climate, soils, topography and vegetation). These drivers have coevolved until ecohydrological equilibrium is achieved between the water and energy fluxes. Therefore, the coevolution of catchment drivers and their spatial heterogeneity makes their functioning and response to changes unique and poses a challenge to expanding our ecohydrological knowledge. Addressing these problems is crucial to enabling sustainable water resource management and water supply for society and ecosystems. This thesis explores an extensive dataset of catchments situated along a climatic gradient in eastern Australia to understand the spatial and temporal variation

  • Rural and Regional Services Development Committee – Inquiry Into Retaining Young People in Rural Towns and Communities
    Rural and Regional Services Development Committee – Inquiry into Retaining Young People in Rural Towns and Communities KANDO - Kinglake Action Network & Development Organisation (KANDO) Inc. Submission 12 April 2006 Kinglake Ranges Overview The Kinglake Ranges (inclusive of the communities of Toolangi, Castella, Glenburn, Kinglake, Middle Kinglake, Pheasant Creek, Kinglake West and Flowerdale) covers an area of approximately 1900 sqkm and is at its nearest point less than 50 km from the Melbourne CBD (less than one hours drive). A significant proportion of our population (estimated at > 6,000 people and growing) commute to the suburbs or city daily to work or to undertake post primary education (our youth attend over 20 different secondary schools). Historically, the community has been significantly disadvantaged, with Kinglake recording the highest unemployment and youth suicide rates in the state in the early 1990’s. Isolation and inadequate or non-existent public transport has always compounded our disadvantage. Drug and alcohol abuse, domestic / family violence and mental health issues have all been matters of concern particularly given the absolute absence of health and welfare services to the area. In recent years the area has seen a large growth in the number of young families. Our fragmented youth population makes it almost impossible to sustain junior sporting teams, despite well over 500 high school aged young people living in the wider region. Tracking young people’s transition to training, employment or further study is extremely difficult with many falling through the gaps. Local employment opportunities continue to be extremely limited. The dispersal of community members has a detrimental impact on community connectedness and social cohesion.
