Keywords: Topping, growt( Vitis The effect of topping on the growth behaviour of Vitis vinifera L. cv. Cape Riesling vineyard was investigated. Shoot and leaf growth of both topped and untopped vines, can be described as sigmoidal. Shoot (cm) and leaf growth (cm') of the topped vines were significantly more than that of the untopped vines and are attributed to lateral shoot growth. Topping had no effect on bunch development. The development of skin, pulp and seed of both topped and untopped vines expressed as a percentage dry mass per berry can be described by a hyperbolic function for the skin, linear for the pulp and parabolic for the seed. Growth has been defined as "the advancement towards of topping on the growth characteristics of Vitis vinifera or attainment of full size or maturity; development: a L. cv.

    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.
