  • 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

The primary objective is to create a sophisticated 2D hydraulic model which will accurately simulate flooding in Wingham. This, in conjunction with an improved Hydrologic Model of the Cedar Party Catchment, will provide refined flood data on Wingham and therefore establish a sound base for the development of a Wingham Floodplain Risk Management Study and Plan according to the “Floodplain Development Manual” (New South Wales Government; 2005) . This document should be read in conjunction with the “Wingham Floodplain Risk Management Study” and the “Wingham Risk Management Plan” (both produced 2010 by WorleyParsons) where the collective objective is to reduce the impact of flooding and to reduce private and public losses resulting from floods. At the same time, the unnecessary sterilisation of flood prone land is avoided by recognising the benefits arising from its use, occupation and development.

  • Draft Report Card for the Dingo Creek Water Source
    Cease to Pump Review - Water Sharing Plan for the Lower North Coast Unregulated and Alluvial Water Sources Dingo Creek Water Source – Report Card 4 of 8 Draft report card for the Dingo Creek Water Source Why are the existing cease to pump rules being reviewed? The Water Sharing Plan for the Lower North Coast Unregulated and Alluvial Water Sources 2009 (the Plan) provides for cease to pump rules to be implemented in two stages, with stage 1 rules applying for the first 5 years of the Plan and stage 2 rules applying for the remainder of the Plan’s tenure. The Plan stipulates that stage 2 cease to pump rules may be changed based on the outcomes of socio-economic and environmental studies to assess the impacts of proposed rules. The Plan sets boundaries beyond which the cease to pump rules cannot be changed and recommends consultation with relevant governmental departments and stakeholders. DPI Water has completed the socio-economic and environmental studies and consistent with report findings, considers that the proposed cease to pump rules strike a reasonable balance between the socio economic needs of users and the ecological values in this water source. These reports may be found in the News updates at: www.water.nsw.gov.au/home DPI Water now seeks stakeholder views on the changes being considered for this water source. Existing stage 2 cease to pump rules Pumping is not permitted when flows are at or Very low flow below 2.6 ML/day at the Dingo Creek at class Munyaree Flat Gauge on a falling river.

MCW is of the view that particularly in NSW there needs to be a complete review of how water and sewerage services are delivered in regional NSW. In 2008 the NSW Government commenced an enquiry into the delivery of water and sewerage services to communities across NSW. MCW made a comprehensive submission which an update version is attached. The main thrust of our submission was that there should be only 14 utilities to deliver water and sewerage services throughout regional NSW. This excludes Sydney and Hunter Water and the newly formed Central Coast Water Authority. MCW model was for Local Government to still remain control through the County Council system. Since the enquiry, in Tasmania the model of Council owned utilities has been implemented. MCW submission was not popular within the Local Government industry in NSW. NSW Councils have used the water and sewer funds to heavily subsidise the other Council business units due to the imposition of rate pegging in NSW. The draft report arising from the inquiry recommended that there be 32 groups of Councils across NSW and it would be left to the Councils on the type of group that they could belong to.
