Foreword The issue In recent years water has become a pressing public policy issue for Australian society. As water demand increases and supply dwindles, the strain on existing water supplies has reached new heights. Protracted drought and mounting evidence of climate change have added momentum behind a growing community and political will to see improvements in both our understanding of water resources and the way we manage them. The challenge Better management of water poses a national challenge, requiring a coordinated response. Our ability as a community to reach agreement on the tough issues relies on access to accurate, reliable water information that is freely available and of the highest standards. Key to making these decisions and arriving at sound policy is a definitive water data source that stands above reproach. Australian Aligned with this need, the Australian Government assigned the Bureau of Government Meteorology (the Bureau) responsibilities under the Water Act 2007 to response compile and deliver comprehensive water information for the country. As part of the Australian Government’s long term framework for water security, Water for the Future, $450 million was allocated to the Bureau over 10 years to deliver the Improving Water Information Program. This program includes development and maintenance of an integrated, national water information system which will be freely accessible to the public. Details of the full suite of Bureau objectives and deliverables can be found at www.bom.gov.au/water. A partnership Vital to the success of the Bureau’s mission is the partnership and model… cooperation of all State and Territory Governments and all water data collecting organisations in each jurisdiction. One of the vehicles for effective collaboration is the Jurisdictional Reference Group for Water Information (JRGWI), established to provide regular input to the Bureau’s activities, and bringing to the table the experience and wisdom of respected senior officials from across the water sector. …and putting Between 2007 and 2012 the Bureau has administered the Modernisation it into practice and Extension of Hydrologic Monitoring Systems Program (the M&E Program), an $80 million fund available to organisations named under the Water Regulations 2008. The M&E Program has been aimed at improving technologies employed by those who collect water information, and enabling better approaches to data transfer and standardisation. Coordination activities have also been supported through the M&E Program in each State and Territory, bringing together key stakeholders to distill State/Territory priorities in water data collection, and to set these out in a series of Strategic Water Information and Monitoring Plans (SWIMPs). NSW Office of Water, July 2012 i Strategic The SWIMPs provide a framework for describing where we are going and plans… how we will get there. Each SWIMP has been produced with a whole of jurisdiction focus to encapsulate the current state of play in water information and monitoring, describe the gaps, issues and opportunities that exist, and articulate a series of priorities, strategies and actions that will bring us closer to the end vision of better water information for all. …and how Through the M&E Program the Bureau has assisted the States and they contribute Territories to get closer to our agreed view of what constitutes a fit-for- to the solution purpose hydrologic observing system in each jurisdiction. The Bureau has looked to the SWIMPs to provide guidance on how best to invest M&E Program funds to achieve this goal. In this regard, the SWIMPs are a vital product. The future In closing, the Bureau appreciates the energy and expertise that has been applied in the preparation of this SWIMP, and thanks all of the officers that have participated in its development and review. Our special thanks go to the lead authors of the SWIMP, David Malone, Laura Torrible and John Hayes.

  • Professionals Australia's Response on Behalf of Members in Relation to The
    Professionals Australia’s response on behalf of members in relation to the proposed restructure PA met with engineers who work in the Engineering Division on two occasions at WNSW Parramatta offices with members dialling-in from regional NSW. PA encouraged members to put forward their professional views on the proposed restructure on whether it addressed existing problems. PA has received some very detailed responses from our members. It is clear there is a high level of concern that the restructure will have undesired impacts on both employees and the functions of Engineering. Many members have taken the opportunity to respond directly to the WNSW email address set up for feedback. This submission does not repeat those comments. This submission is concerned with the first order issue – Does the restructure enhance the undertaking of engineering functions by WaterNSW or not? The next level of concerns which appear to be the main focus of the input provided via the WNSW email are the detail of position descriptions and the arrangements for filling the structure. We understand such matters have also attracted a large number of comments and concerns from members. However, those issues arise only when the first order issue is satisfied. The focus of this submission is whether the restructure has accurately identified the deficiencies and whether the proposal will address those deficiencies. What can a restructure address? A restructure can address issues such as resourcing levels, specific function focus and functional alignment. It cannot address issues caused by dysfunctional organisational behaviour, lack of effective processes, etc. Does the restructure enhance engineering functions at WNSW? The view of WNSW engineers is that overall the restructure will not result in the enhanced performance of the engineering functions required by WNSW.

  • Synopis Sheets MURRAY DARLING UK
    Synopsis sheets Rivers of the World THE MURRAY- DARLING BASIN Initiatives pour l’Avenir des Grands Fleuves The Murray-Darling Basin Australia is the driest inhabited continent on the planet: deserts make up more than two thirds of the country. 90% of the population is concentrated in the southeast, around the Murray-Darling basin and on the coast. This basin is the country’s largest hydrographic network, with a surface area of 1,059,000 km² (14% of the Australian territory), stretching from the Australian Alps to the Indian Ocean. Although it harbours 70% of Australia’s irrigated land and 40% of its agricultural production, it is not spared from water shortages that now affect the rest of the country due to climate change and a lifestyle and economy that consume considerable volumes of water. A laboratory for adapting to water stress The origins The River Murray, called “Millewa” by the Aboriginal traditional owners, has been central to human livelihoods for over 40000 years. Its exploitation was then accelerated in the 19 th century, first as a navigable waterway and as a means for trading by European and other settlers. Development of the river basin quickly led to the degradation of an already fragile ecosystem. In addition to droughts, massive use of the rivers’ waters, firstly for irrigation, and the transformation of the land through grazing and deforestation contributed to the salinisation ot the land and waters. The basin has always seen great variability: severe droughts and floods, that are being accentuated with climate change. 2013, 2014, 2015, 2017 and 2018 have seen some areas in the basin with the hottest temperatures ever recorded.
