Chapter 3. Landscape, People and Economy
Chapter 3. Landscape, people and economy Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning 3. Landscape, people and economy This chapter provides a brief description of the landscape, people and economic drivers in the water resource plan areas. Working rivers The rivers of these water resource plan areas provide many environmental, economic, and social benefits for Victorian communities. Most of northern Victoria’s rivers have been modified from their natural state to varying degrees. These modifications have affected hydrologic regimes, physical form, riparian vegetation, water quality and instream ecology. Under the Basin Plan it is not intended that these rivers and streams be restored to a pre-development state, but that they are managed as ‘working rivers’ with agreed sustainable levels of modification and use and improved ecological values and functions. 3.1 Features of Victorian Murray water resource plan area The Victorian Murray water resource plan area covers a broad range of aquatic environments from the highlands streams in the far east, to the floodplains and wetlands of the Murray River in the far west of the state. There are several full river systems in the water resource plan area, including the Kiewa and Mitta Mitta rivers. Other rivers that begin in different water resource plan areas converge with the River Murray in the Victorian Murray water resource plan area. There are a significant number of wetlands in this area, these wetlands are managed by four catchment management authorities (CMAs): North East, Goulburn Broken, North Central and Mallee and their respective land managers. The Victorian Murray water resource plan area extends from Omeo in the far east of Victoria to the South Australian border in the north west of the state. -

Blue Green Algae
Blue Green Algae Overview High levels of blue-green algae have been detected in the following locations: • Loddon River between the Cairn Curran Reservoir and Laanecoorie Reservoir. • The River Murray between Lake Hume and Barham/Koondrook (including Lake Hume, Lake Mulwala and Lake Moodemere). • Channels servicing the Murray Valley Irrigation Area, and parts of the Torrumbarry Irrigation Area (East of the Loddon River). • Lake Boga and the Loddon River between Cairn Curran and Laanecoorie (inclusive).\ • Town water supplies remain unaffected and safe for drinking or domestic use Situation Update Grampians Wimmera Mallee Water (GWMWater) • There are 10 towns who rely on water pumped from the Murray River that are on stage 4 water restrictions to preserve the existing water supplies that these communities have in tanks or town storages. • The towns are Berriwillock, Chinkapook, Chillingollah, Culgoa, Lalbert, Manangatang, Nullawil, Sea Lake, Ultima, and Waitchie • GWMWater advises supplies to these towns are secure and they will continue to make sure this is the case. • Another 323 rural customers who rely on water pumped from the Murray in this area were affected by the pumps being turned off. GWMWater advises that testing of Murray River water at Pental Island overnight (Tuesday), and again this morning (Wednesday), indicates what is expected to be a temporary reduction in the concentrations of Blue-Green Algae at that location on the river. With this window of opportunity GWMWater intends to recommission the Pental Island pump and commence pushing water back through sections of the Northern Mallee Pipeline and Supply System 5 of the Wimmera Mallee Pipeline. -
North Central RWS Priorities Discussion Paper
North Central Waterway Management Strategy: Indicative Priorities Discussion Paper 1. Preamble The North Central Waterway Management Strategy (WMS) is the principle framework for waterway and wetland management in North Central Victoria. This discussion paper has been written to assist in the development of the North Central WMS. The discussion paper attempts to articulate our approach to priority setting and provides indicative priorities for the next eight years. Further detailed assessment of works and costs will need to be considered when determining the final priorities and works program outlined in the WMS. 2. Executive Summary The North Central Waterway Management Strategy (the strategy) will guide investment into prioritised waterway assets within our region over the next eight years. The policies and actions within this strategy have been developed through extensive discussion and collaboration as part of an integrated consultation program. The strategy has been informed by a Steering Committee made up six key stakeholder representatives meeting monthly over the development of the strategy as well as North Central CMA staff, Natural Resource Management Committee (NRMC) and Board. Additional stakeholders including Traditional Owners, water authorities and public land managers have also been engaged on specific aspects of waterway management. The strategy replaces the previous River Health Strategy framework and is an integrated management tool for rivers, creeks and wetlands. The development of the strategy is guided by the Victorian -
Social Impact Assessment Possible Increased Flows Stage1 Vol2
Disclaimer This report has been generated as part of the Living Murray initiative. Its contents do not represent the position of the Murray-Darling Basin Commission. It is presented as a document which informed discussion for improved management of the Basin’s natural resources in November 2003. Preparation of the social impact assessment scoping and profiling studies preceded the Living Murray First Step decision and the signing on 25 June 2004 at the Council of Australian Governments meeting of the Intergovernmental Agreement on Addressing Water Overallocation and Achieving Environmental Objectives in the Murray- Darling Basin. The communiqué from this COAG meeting is provided at www.coag.gov.au. These decisions provide the framework under which $500m will be invested by governments over 5 years to begin addressing water overallocation in the Murray-Darling Basin and achieve specific environmental outcomes in the Murray-Darling Basin. The first priority for this investment will be water recovery for six significant ecological assets first identified by the Murray-Darling Basin Ministerial Council in November 2003: the Barmah-Millewa Forest, Gunbower and Koondrook-Perricoota Forests, Hattah Lakes, Chowilla floodplain, the Lindsay-Wallpolla system, the Murray Mouth, Coorong and Lower Lakes, and the River Murray Channel. The water will come from a matrix of options with a priority for on-farm initiatives, efficiency gains, infrastructure improvements and rationalisation, and market based approaches, and purchase of water from willing sellers, rather than by way of compulsory acquisition. Consequently, the assumptions that were made to enable the social impact assessment scoping and profiling studies to be undertaken in mid 2003, while reasonable at the time, have been overtaken by these decisions and the consequential benefits that will flow from them. -
Chapter 3. Landscape, People and Economy
Chapter 3. Landscape, people and economy Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning 3. Landscape, people and economy Victoria’s North and Murray Water Resource Plan applies to surface water resources in the Northern Victoria and Victorian Murray water resource plan areas, and groundwater resources in Goulburn-Murray water resource plan area. This chapter provides a brief description of the landscape, people and economic drivers in the water resource plan areas. Working rivers The rivers of this water resource plan area provide many environmental, economic, and social benefits for Victorian communities. Most of northern Victoria’s rivers have been modified from their natural state to varying degrees. These modifications have affected hydrologic regimes, physical form, riparian vegetation, water quality and instream ecology. Under the Basin Plan it is not intended that these rivers and streams be restored to a pre-development state, but that they are managed as ‘working rivers’ with agreed sustainable levels of modification and use and improved ecological values and functions. 3.1 Features of Victorian Murray water resource plan area The Victorian Murray water resource plan area covers a broad range of aquatic environments from the highlands in the far east, to the Mallee region in the far west of the state.

Section 4 Western Region 1 Glenelg system 2 Wimmera system 3 Wimmera-Mallee wetland system 3 2 1 90 Victorian Environmental Water Holder 4.0 Western Region overview The Wimmera-Mallee headworks system interconnect three major river basins, the Wimmera, Avoca and Glenelg. The complex network of channels in the Grampians Wimmera Mallee Water (GWMWater) system enables water to be shifted between storages, including from the Glenelg to the Wimmera. Environmental water is predominantly provided under the Wimmera and Glenelg Rivers Environmental Entitlement 2010, with additional water provided to the Commonwealth Environmental Water Holder in the Wimmera and Glenelg Rivers Bulk Entitlement 2010. Water available under the environmental entitlement is shared between the Wimmera and Glenelg systems, and the Wimmera-Mallee wetlands. Waterways that receive environmental water include sections of the Glenelg, Wimmera and MacKenzie rivers, Mount William, Burnt and Bungalally creeks, in addition to priority wetlands formerly supplied by the Wimmera-Mallee channel system. Environmental water available for use in western Victoria is held in the Wimmera-Mallee system headworks, which consists of several storages and release points across the two catchments. The headworks system contains many storages and diversions that capture water across the catchments. Moora Moora and Rocklands Reservoirs are in the Glenelg catchment. Lake Wartook, Lake Lonsdale, Lake Bellfield and off-stream storages including Taylor’s Lake Toolondo Reservoir and Lake Fyans are in the Wimmera system. The Wimmera system forms part of the larger Murray-Darling Basin, and will be subject in the future to sustainable diversion limits outlined in the Murray-Darling Basin Plan. -
