    1.1 the Importance of Urban Wetlands

    People, Politics 1 and Wetlands Chapter 1.1 — The importance of urban wetlands • 2 1.1 The importance of urban wetlands Teresa Mackintosh and Prof Jenny Davis School of Biological Sciences and CRC for Water Sensitive Cities Monash University Australia Abstract Wetlands are important ecosystems globally, however, despite being one of the most productive habitats on Earth they are under threat from urbanisation. With over 50% of the world’s population living in cities, draining and infill of wetlands to provide land for residential housing and urban infrastructure is one of the largest causes of wetland loss. Those wetlands that do remain usually function differently to non-urban wetlands due to changes in hydrology, habitat degradation, pollution and the impacts of exotic and invasive species. Urban wetlands often become more important for human-related values than non-urban wetlands. They provide multiple ecosystem services including removing contaminants from wastewater, flood control, biodiversity support, microclimate modification, carbon sequestration, aesthetic amenity and recreational spaces. Wetlands constructed for remediation of urban stormwater are designed to mimic the processes which occur in natural wetlands. Wetlands constructed on stream networks can intercept stormwater runoff and prevent contaminants from reaching downstream surface waters, including estuaries and near-shore marine regions. As these systems are designed to act like natural wetlands they have the added benefit of providing a habitat for wildlife. The magnitude of wetland loss means that these wetlands are often the only systems supporting wildlife in urban environments. Urban wetlands containing permanent water can provide important refugia for many species during dry periods and droughts.

  • Faqs – Lake Eppalock December 2014

    Faqs – Lake Eppalock December 2014

    FAQs – Lake Eppalock December 2014 Why was Lake Eppalock built? Lake Eppalock was constructed between 1960 and 1964 to supply irrigation and stock and domestic water to the Campaspe irrigation district, diverters from the Campaspe River and urban supplies to Bendigo and Heathcote. More recently it has provided urban supplies to Ballarat. In years of plentiful water resources, water from Lake Eppalock is used to supplement the Waranga Western Channel that supplies irrigation customers in the Rochester and Loddon Valley irrigation areas. Who “owns” the water in Lake Eppalock? Water entitlement holders (owners) include irrigators, environmental water holders and urban water corporations. For more information about how the water in Lake Eppalock is distributed to these owners, please visit http://www.nvrm.net.au/resources.aspx. What do each of those groups use the water for? GMW irrigators: Agriculture, stock and domestic water supply. Urban water corporations: Coliban Water - urban water supply to the City of Bendigo and other towns and supplement to Coliban Water irrigators; Central Highland Water - City of Ballarat and other towns. Victorian Environmental Water Holder/Commonwealth Environmental Water Office/The Living Murray: Meeting environmental objectives (eg improved bank vegetation, habitat for fish) in the Campaspe River. What’s GMW’s role at Lake Eppalock? GMW operates and maintains the structures at Lake Eppalock and manages the water held in the lake. The drop in the lake level is really noticeable this year - is there more water being delivered this year than previous years? The total volume of water released from Lake Eppalock this year is similar to previous years.

    CORANGAMITE HERITAGE STUDY STAGE 2 VOLUME 3 REVIEWED AND REVISED THEMATIC ENVIRONMENTAL HISTORY Prepared for Corangamite Shire Council Samantha Westbrooke Ray Tonkin 13 Richards Street 179 Spensley St Coburg 3058 Clifton Hill 3068 ph 03 9354 3451 ph 03 9029 3687 mob 0417 537 413 mob 0408 313 721 [email protected] [email protected] INTRODUCTION This report comprises Volume 3 of the Corangamite Heritage Study (Stage 2) 2013 (the Study). The purpose of the Study is to complete the identification, assessment and documentation of places of post-contact cultural significance within Corangamite Shire, excluding the town of Camperdown (the study area) and to make recommendations for their future conservation. This volume contains the Reviewed and Revised Thematic Environmental History. It should be read in conjunction with Volumes 1 & 2 of the Study, which contain the following: • Volume 1. Overview, Methodology & Recommendations • Volume 2. Citations for Precincts, Individual Places and Cultural Landscapes This document was reviewed and revised by Ray Tonkin and Samantha Westbrooke in July 2013 as part of the completion of the Corangamite Heritage Study, Stage 2. This was a task required by the brief for the Stage 2 study and was designed to ensure that the findings of the Stage 2 study were incorporated into the final version of the Thematic Environmental History. The revision largely amounts to the addition of material to supplement certain themes and the addition of further examples of places that illustrate those themes. There has also been a significant re-formatting of the document. Most of the original version was presented in a landscape format.

    Chapter 3. Landscape, people and economy Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning 3. Landscape, people and economy This chapter provides a brief description of the landscape, people and economic drivers in the water resource plan areas. Working rivers The rivers of these water resource plan areas provide many environmental, economic, and social benefits for Victorian communities. Most of northern Victoria’s rivers have been modified from their natural state to varying degrees. These modifications have affected hydrologic regimes, physical form, riparian vegetation, water quality and instream ecology. Under the Basin Plan it is not intended that these rivers and streams be restored to a pre-development state, but that they are managed as ‘working rivers’ with agreed sustainable levels of modification and use and improved ecological values and functions. 3.1 Features of Victorian Murray water resource plan area The Victorian Murray water resource plan area covers a broad range of aquatic environments from the highlands streams in the far east, to the floodplains and wetlands of the Murray River in the far west of the state. There are several full river systems in the water resource plan area, including the Kiewa and Mitta Mitta rivers. Other rivers that begin in different water resource plan areas converge with the River Murray in the Victorian Murray water resource plan area. There are a significant number of wetlands in this area, these wetlands are managed by four catchment management authorities (CMAs): North East, Goulburn Broken, North Central and Mallee and their respective land managers. The Victorian Murray water resource plan area extends from Omeo in the far east of Victoria to the South Australian border in the north west of the state.
