OS Used to Construct Water Reservoirs
Review of Australian Water Reservoirs by BOSMIN June 15, 2012 MEMO To: The Files Update: October 16, 2012 Subject: Review of Australian Water Reservoirs Copy filed at: http://bosmin.com/ICS/Reservoirs.pdf Principal Author: R.A. Beatty: Contact: [email protected] 1. BACKGROUND Irrigation water supplies in the Murray-Darling basin have become increasingly scarce over the years due to growing commercial demand for water. Much of the impounded water is lost to evaporation as the Basin sits within a region of high evaporation – generally in the order of two meters per year. The importance of storage evaporation appears to have been understated in terms of asset loss as well as the impact on overall river salinity. Similarly the importance of maintaining water storage depth is underestimated in many instances with continuous sedimentation deposits allowed to accumulate in the storage. This feature is particularly costly as it incrementally replaces the most valuable water storage capacity with inert material. Many of our water storages were not cleared of vegetation before filling let alone deepened with a view of increasing the water storage portion not subject to evaporation loss. Page 1 of 14 Review of Australian Water Reservoirs by BOSMIN June 15, 2012 2. EFFICIENT SURFACE WATER GENERIC STORAGE We define efficient storage as a measure of the ability of a dam to store water with minimum loss from evaporation, and that 100% is the efficiency of the “ideal” reservoir. The shape of a reservoir has a large impact on the evaporation loss. The most efficient shape for storing an open body of water has a circular top, and we will assume a 10:1 slope angle for the dam wall (5.7o slope).

Joel Anthony Huey, B Env Sci (Hons) Griffith School of Environment Australian Rivers Institute Griffith University Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy December, 2007 “Well, if I was a catfish, mama, I said, swimmin’ deep down in deep blue sea. Have these gals now, sweet mama, Sittin’ out, sittin’ out, folks, for poor me; Sittin’ out, folks, for poor me; Sittin’ out, folks, for poor me; Sittin’ out, folks, for me; Sittin’ out, folks, for me; Sittin’ out, folks, for me.” Catfish Blues - Robert Petway (1941) Synopsis Understanding patterns of dispersal, the movement of individuals or propagules, among populations of riverine species is imperative to their management and conservation. However, directly estimating dispersal can often be difficult. Therefore, estimates of gene flow, the movement of genes, are often used to infer dispersal among natural populations. In riverine species, gene flow is determined by species biology, riverine architecture and flow regime.

Croydon's Bush Telegraph
Croydon’s Bush Telegraph A word from our Mayor…… Trevor Pickering Hi All in Incredible Croydon, Wow what a busy month September has been for Council with all the usual work that’s been going on for this time of the year. We had to plan not one but two State Government Ministers visits only a week apart and their itineraries are all over the show right up until they land here, and even then we don’t know how long we have them for, so you would appreciate that the logistics around these visits can be a nightmare especially when they cancel at the last minute which has hap- pened before with the Minister for Main Roads and State and Federal members. So moving forward to a phone call I received from a Darrel Jones to say that Hon Mark Bailey, Minister for Transport and Main Roads would like to fly in for a visit and naturally I said that I would make myself available for a meeting with him anytime, but that’s when the problems start because he couldn’t tell me when and what time they would be coming. So I said to Darrel that I’ll believe it when I see it as I have been actively lobbying through Council and the Far North Queensland Regional Organisation of Councils (FNQROC) to have him visit us for the last three years. A couple of days of yes and no and back to plan b, c and a night time three way phone call with Darrel and Warren Devlin (Mayor of Etheridge Shire) we had our plan sorted.
