Mwr/ to Keep the Monthly Weather Review As Timely As Possible, Much of the Information Is Based on Electronic Reports Monthly Weather Review Australia December 2013 The Monthly Weather Review - Australia is produced by the Bureau of Meteorology to provide a concise but informative overview of the temperatures, rainfall and significant weather events in Australia for the month. This product replaces the seven State and Territory Monthly Weather Reviews that were produced from January 1965 to June 2013, and are available electronically back to July 2008 at www.bom.gov.au/climate/mwr/ To keep the Monthly Weather Review as timely as possible, much of the information is based on electronic reports. Although every effort is made to ensure the accuracy of these reports, the results can be considered only preliminary until complete quality control procedures have been carried out. Any major discrepancies will be noted in later issues. We are keen to ensure that the Monthly Weather Review is appropriate to its readers' needs. If you have any comments or suggestions, please contact us: National Climate Centre Bureau of Meteorology GPO Box 1289 Melbourne VIC 3001 Australia [email protected] www.bom.gov.au Units of measurement Except where noted, temperature is given in degrees Celsius (°C), rainfall in millimetres (mm), and wind speed in kilometres per hour (km/h). Observation times and periods Each station in Australia makes its main observation for the day at 9 am local time. At this time, the precipitation over the past 24 hours is determined, and maximum and minimum thermometers are also read and reset. In this publication, the following conventions are used for assigning dates to the observations made: Maximum temperatures are for the 24 hours from 9 am on the date mentioned. They normally occur in the afternoon of that day. Minimum temperatures are for the 24 hours to 9 am on the date mentioned. They normally occur in the early morning of that day. Mean temperatures are the average of the daily maximum and daily minimum temperatures. Daily rainfall is for the 24 hours to 9 am on the date mentioned. This means a significant fraction of the rain may have occurred on the previous calendar day. Monthly rainfall is for the period from 9 am on the last day of the previous month to 9 am on the last day of this month. Maximum daily wind gusts are in the 24 hours from midnight to midnight. Area averages for temperature are calculated using the ACORN-SAT dataset. Climatological values The climatological averages shown in the text and tables are generally long-term means based on observations from the years 1961–1990. They are not shown for sites with less than 25 years of record in that time, as they cannot then be calculated reliably. Climatological extremes are generally taken from all available years of record; the number of years can vary markedly from site to site. Records The tables of records are not exhaustive, as they only show sites with at least 30 years of record. This may exclude locations where a new site has been established; this means even some major cities and towns may not be listed. Maps The temperature and rainfall maps are intended to give an overview of the country. There could be discrepancies between the values shown on these maps and those at individual locations, as a result of the way the maps are generated. A wide range of maps of rainfall, temperature and other variables, covering the whole country and smaller regions can be found at www.bom.gov.au/climate/maps. Accessing data Tables of daily values for selected sites are included toward the back of the Monthly Weather Review. Data from many more sites and for other times are available from www.bom.gov.au/climate/data/. Copyright © Commonwealth of Australia 2014 This work is copyright.

  • Sunwater Dams Sunwater Makes a Significant Contribution to the Rural, Industrial, Energy, Mining and Urban Development of Queensland by Providing Water Solutions
    SunWater Dams SunWater makes a significant contribution to the rural, industrial, energy, mining and urban development of Queensland by providing water solutions. Over the past 80 years, SunWater has designed and managed the construction of 30 of Queensland’s dams, 82 weirs and barrages, 39 reservoirs and balancing storages and rural and bulk water infrastructure systems. Currently, SunWater owns and manages 19 dams in Queensland and each dam has been strategically built in existing river, stream or creek locations to serve the needs of the region. A dam is a critical component of a water supply scheme which can be made up of weirs and barrages, pumping stations, pipelines and channels, and drains. The overall scheme is designed to supply water for various purposes including town water supply, irrigation, electricity production, industrial i.e. power stations, mines, stock and groundwater supply. Water Supply Scheme Pipeline Industrial & Mining Dam Drain Pumping Station Channel Legend Balancing Storage SunWater Infrastructure Purpose of Water Supply Weir Irrigation Town Barrage Water Supply Dam Types The type of dam is defined by how the dam wall was constructed. Depending on the surrounding environment, SunWater dams can be described as one or more Scheme of the following: Pipeline Cania Dam Boondooma Dam Wuruma Dam Paradise Dam Julius Dam EMBANKMENT CONCRETE FACED MASS CONCRETE ROLLER COMPACTED MULTIPLE ARCH Industrial & Mining ROCKFILL GRAVITY CONCRETE GRAVITY CONCRETE Constructed as an Constructed as an BUTTRESS embankment of well Constructed using a Constructed in horizontal embankment of compacted Constructed as concrete compacted clay (earthfill) some large volume of layers of dryer than normal free-draining granular earth horizontal arches supported with rock on the faces (rockfill).
