Se Non E Vero, E Molto Ben Trovato Issue 440 March 2020 $2
Se Non E Vero, E Molto Ben Trovato Issue 440 March 2020 $2 Community news for Wollombi, Laguna and surrounding districts 1 Issue 440 - Our Own News – March 2020 View from the Ridge Top - Is it 1929 all over again?! Monthly Rainfall in the Wollombi Valley Source: BoM Climate Data (2019), Ridgetop Consulting (2020) Monthly rainfall for the Wollombi Valley is highlighted above for years 1928, 1929, 2019 and 2020 (includes a 200mm conservative guesstimate for February 2020). Detailed analysis of rainfall ahead of three key bushfire periods was undertaken for 1929, 1993/4 and 2019/20. In all key fire events, there was very limited Spring rainfall followed by delayed Summer rains. In 1929, this late Summer rain arrived in a major rain event that began on 6th February. This was after the terrible bushfires of 1929 (reported in last month’s OON). In 1994 (not shown), the rains arrived in the January and a more reasonable amount in February. On average, the most rainfall arrives during Summer hence it was reasonable to predict the strong wet end to our current Summer. It was the prolonged period of limited rain that likely helped extend the recent fire activity. Interestingly as February 2020 rainfall unfolds it appears we are following the pattern for 1929 (including relevance of 6th February) unless even more rain arrives and then an event like the 1949 flood beckons! Next month we will explore flooding events in the Valley. If anyone has any access to detailed historical flood information for Wollombi please let the author know. -

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 -

MARYLAND NATIONAL PARK PLAN OF MANAGEMENT NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service March 2002 The principal author of this plan of management is Alexandra Knight, with assistance from NPWS Kyogle Area staff and the Northern Directorate Planning Group. © Crown Copyright 2002, NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service. Maryland National Park: Plan of Management ISBN 0 7313 6332 9 Maryland National Park: Plan of Management MANAGEMENT CONTEXT National Parks in New South Wales The National Parks and Wildlife Act 1974 (NPW Act) requires a plan of management to be prepared for each national park. A plan of management is a legal document which outlines how a national park will be managed in the years ahead. Once the Minister has adopted the plan, no operations may be undertaken within the Park except in accordance with the plan. For the purpose of preparing this plan of management, the Service has adopted the International Union for the Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources (IUCN) - the World Conservation Union - definition of a national park, ie. a national park is: “A natural area of land and/or sea, designated to (a) protect the ecological integrity of one or more ecosystems for present and future generations, (b) exclude exploitation or occupation inimical to the purpose of designation of the area, and (c) provide a foundation for spiritual, educational, recreational and visitor opportunities, all of which must be environmentally and culturally compatible.” The NPW Act requires that in the preparation of plans of management, consideration -
