Abstract This report describes the development of a surface-groundwater interaction model for the Murrumbidgee Irrigation Area. The US geological survey model MODFLOW coupled with the MT3D solute transport simulator under a PMWIN environment was used as the modeling framework. The spatial domain represented in the model consists of four layers each of 106 rows and 113 columns (750m x 750m cell size). A stress period length of 30-days was used to enable simulation of irrigation and non-irrigation seasons with a computational time step of one day. Initially the model parameters have been specified for the 1995 to 2000 period for calibration purposes. Extensive datasets on the aquifer lithology (structural contours, borelogs, aquifer properties), piezometric levels, groundwater salinity, aquifer abstractions, channel network, Murrumbidgee River and rice area locations have been collected and collated in ArcView GIS format. This work has provided an opportunity to consolidate a larger number of scattered databases into various formats for the MIA and in a form which can be readily used to carry out a range of environmental studies. Several customised programs have been written for the manipulation of the difficult data sets to incorporate them into MODFLOW-MT3D format for the 1995-2000 period. A working surface-groundwater interaction model of the MIA is now available. This model is currently being calibrated and would be used to simulate Land and Water Management scenarios and to quantifiy climatic and management impacts on shallow watertables and soil salinity.

  • Benefits of Increased Irrigation Efficiency in the Murrumbidgee Irrigation Area
    ABARE CONFERENCE PAPER 2001.10 Benefits of increased irrigation efficiency in the Murrumbidgee Irrigation Area Adrian Kemp and Ahmed Hafi Australian Bureau of Agricultural and Resource Economics 45th Annual Conference of the Australian Agricultural and Resource Economics Society, Adelaide, 22–25 January 2001 Limited water availability in the face of increasing competing demands for water, including water for environmental purposes, has highlighted the need to make the most efficient use of the available water in the Murray Darling Basin. This study focuses on the Murrumbidgee Irrigation Area (MIA) and consid- ers the benefits of increasing irrigation efficiency. A model of the MIA which incorporates both on and off farm components is used to evaluate the bene- fits of adopting two on-farm options — twin furrow irrigation for horticul- tural farms and water reuse systems for horticulture and broadacre farms. The study found these on-farm water saving options can be profitably adopted leading to savings of river diversions of up to 27 GL a year. ABARE project 1629 1 ABARE CONFERENCE PAPER 2001.10 Introduction In recent seasons, reduced availability of irrigation water, increased water demand in agriculture and for other purposes, and the high cost of investment in new dams and associated infrastructure in the southern Murray Darling Basin (MDB), have highlighted the need to make the most efficient use of existing water resources. Improving on-farm irrigation and water use efficiency is likely to lead to a range of benefits including maintaining or increasing production from existing or less amounts of water; expanding irrigated areas; and reducing river diversions.

  • Chapter 19: Murrumbidgee River Catchment
    19 Murrumbidgee River Catchment Sydney Morning Herald, 10 March 1915 True Tales of the Trout Cod: River Histories of the Murray-Darling Basin 19-1 STOCKING THE BARREN JACK DAMS TO THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD Sir, - A short time since a paragraph appeared in the “Herald” re stocking the dams at Barren Jack with economic fish, i.e. cod, perch etc. A request was sent to the Fishery Department to take the matter in hand, and an expert was detailed to carry out the suggestion. This expert’s idea was to capture fish in the reaches of the Lower Murrumbidgee, and transplant them to the said dam. Instead of so doing it will be far better to permit the dams to be stocked by or with the fish that are in thousands above the dam. They are precisely of the same species as will be obtained from the stretches of the same river lower down. The young fish that are in the waters above the dams will be sure to make for the deeper waters: it is their natural habitat – the larger and deeper the waterholes in rivers the larger its fish inhabitants. The writer has seen young perch and cod-fish in the Murrumbidgee and its tributaries near Cooma by the thousand. Then why take the trouble and go to the expense to take fish from one part of the river, and dump them down among the same species in another part of the same river? “Coals to Newcastle” again. The great flood that occurred two or three months ago in the upper parts of the Murrumbidgee gave ample proof that the codfish etc.

This report has been developed in line with the NSW Department of Utilities, Energy and Sustainability (DEUS) IWCM Guidelines (2004). It identifies the process in which the preferred scenario for the future management of urban water services in YVC was chosen and provides guidance for its implementation. Scenario Building Approach and Data A range of management options were developed to address the catchment, water resource and urban issues identified by the IWCM Concept Study through the review of background studies and stakeholder consultation. In addition, a series of potential management options were investigated through a series of desktop studies, including a demand analysis and a review of alternative water sources including stormwater harvesting and effluent reuse. This process eliminated any potential management options which would not be technically feasible for YVC given the prevailing characteristics and issues.
