Annual Report 2011-2012 Border Rivers-Gwydir Catchment Management Authority Border Rivers-Gwydir Catchment Management Authority Annual Report 2011-2012 BORDER RIVERS-GWYDIR CATCHMENT MANAGEMENT AUTHORITY This is the Border Rivers-Gwydir Catchment Management Authority (Border Rivers-Gwydir CMA) Annual Report for the period July 1, 2011 to June 30, 2012. This Annual Report has been structured around reporting our progress against our Catchment Action Plan themes of community, biodiversity, soils and land use and water. It meets all the requirements of relevant NSW legislation. The Border Rivers-Gwydir CMA works to help people in our communities look after their land for future generations. We strive for balanced production and conservation within resilient landscapes.

Acting Chair Another successful partnership was between the Border Rivers-Gwydir CMA, Granite Borders Landcare and Northern Rivers CMA to engage landholders in the Tenterfield region to deliver the Flood Disaster Recovery Project. All three organisations combined their resources to assist landholders that had been affected by the January 2011 flood event. Over the past year, the We have had several successes within our Aboriginal Cultural Border Rivers-Gwydir CMA Heritage program over the past year.

The Border Rivers- Gwydir CMA works to help people in our communities The Border Rivers-Gwydir CMA covers an area of look after their land for future generations. 50,000 square kilometres in Northern NSW. It is bounded by the Queensland border to the north, the Great Dividing Range in the east, runs south to Uralla and west to the Barwon River at Collarenebri. The Border Rivers-Gwydir Catchment is home to a complex diversity of plants, birds, animals, soils, land use and communities. There are three principal Aboriginal nations within the Border Rivers-Gwydir catchment area. These are the Kamilaroi, Banbai and Anaiwan nations. Each of these nations comprise of various tribes which are recognised as members of their respective tribal nation. One of 13 Catchment Management Authorities in NSW established under the Catchment Management Authorities Act 2003 the Border Rivers-Gwydir CMA is responsible for engaging with its local communities in the management of the catchment’s natural resources. We do this by implementing the Border Rivers-Gwydir CMA Catchment Action Plan, known as the “CAP”. The CAP is a 10-year plan, approved by the Minister for Natural Resources in 2006, that outlines clear and specific targets for the Border Rivers-Gwydir CMA to achieve in delivering improvements in the condition of our natural resources. It is currently being upgraded to reflect a whole- of-government and whole-of-community approach to natural resource management. This Annual Report documents our achievements in the four CAP “theme” areas: Community, Biodiversity, Soils and Land Use and Water. 6 BORDER RIVERS-GWYDIR CATCHMENT MANAGEMENT AUTHORITY Why our work is important The vision of the Border Rivers-Gwydir CMA is to balance production and conservation within resilient landscapes. Working together, individuals and communities have the Resilience, in this context, is the ability of the system to knowledge, resources and clear vision of what they can absorb disturbance and still retain its basic function and do in their daily lives that will “make a difference” to structure (Walker and Salt, 2006). sustainable natural resource management. The Border The overriding principles of this concept are: Rivers-Gwydir CMA works hard to provide the knowledge and resources required. > We are all part of linked systems of humans and nature (socio-ecological systems).

Schipper Summary Climate change and land use change are ongoing features which affect the hydrological regime by changing the rainfall partitioning into actual evapotranspiration and runoff. A data-based method has been previously developed to attribute changes in streamflow to climate and land use change. Since this method has not been often applied, a large sample attribution study by applying this method to catchments in different parts of the world will provide more insight in the water partitioning and will evaluate the attribution method. The results can be used by water managers of the studied catchments to obtain the main reason for changes in streamflow. The used method is applicable to a large sample set of catchments because it is a relatively fast method and it can provide quantitative results. The objective of this study is to apply a non-modelling attribution method to attribute changes in streamflow to climate change and land use change to a large sample set of catchments in different parts of the world and to evaluate the used method.

  • Extension of Unimpaired Monthly Streamflow Data and Regionalisation of Parameter Values to Estimate Streamflow in Ungauged Catchments
    National Land and Water Resources Audit Theme 1-Water Availability Extension of Unimpaired Monthly Streamflow Data and Regionalisation of Parameter Values to Estimate Streamflow in Ungauged Catchments Centre for Environmental Applied Hydrology The University of Melbourne Murray C. Peel Francis H.S. Chiew Andrew W. Western Thomas A. McMahon July 2000 Summary This project is carried out by the Centre for Environmental Applied Hydrology at the University of Melbourne as part of the National Land and Water Resources Audit Project 1 in Theme 1 (Water Availability). The objectives of the project are to extend unimpaired streamflow data for stations throughout Australia and to relate the model parameters to measurable catchment characteristics. The long time series of streamflow data are important for both research and management of Australia’s hydrological and ecological systems. A simple conceptual daily rainfall-runoff model, SIMHYD, is used to extend the streamflow data. The model estimates streamflow from daily rainfall and areal potential evapotranspiration data. The parameters in the model are first calibrated against the available historical streamflow data. The optimised parameter values are then used to estimate monthly streamflow from 1901-1998. The modelling is carried out on 331 catchments across Australia, most of them located in the more populated and important agricultural areas in eastern and south-east Australia. These catchments are unimpaired, have at least 10 years of streamflow data and catchment areas between 50 km2 and 2000 km2. The model calibration and cross-validation analyses carried out in this project indicate that SIMHYD can estimate monthly streamflow satisfactorily for most of the catchments.
