It is msot important that data on the goundwater source (aquifer level and its changes, salinity levels and their changes etc) continue to be collected by the Office of Water hydrologists on a regular basis and that we users of the goundwater are supplied with that data. We have not been provided with the data collected for some 8 years. As users, we are as keen to protect the resource as anyone else and therefore we need to know what is occurring in the aquifer.

Thsi is in addition to a previous submission made a few days ago. I wish to add that the existing plan seems to have worked well. During the time it has been in force, we have seen significant periods of drought and ongoing rain events. As a result, the level of the water table, as measured at my property, has fluctuated some 10-12 feet without any apparent detrimental effect from periods when it was low. My comments are based on my personal observations and those of other groundwater users. I therefore recommend that the management plan continues as it stands and again request that data from the aquifer is collected by the Department on a regular basis and shared with local users so that we know precisely what is happpening and continued management can be based on hard data.
