  • Fact Sheet How Dams Work
    Fact sheet How dams work December 2015 In South East Queensland, our drinking water is predominantly Flood mitigation sourced from dams, which collect run-off rainwater from our catchments and store it. Our dams provide a safe, secure and At its most basic level, flood mitigation is capturing water and cost-effective water supply, as well as help to mitigate floods. then releasing it at a slower rate, with the aim of minimising river levels downstream of the dam. When dams fill, they are designed to pass the excess water into the creek or river system they are built on. What is Full Supply Level? Dam release notification service The Full Supply Level of a dam is the approved water storage level of the dam for drinking and/or irrigation purposes. Seqwater offers a free dam release notification service, which provides subscribers with notifications when gated dams For un-gated dams, if inflows result in the water level rising release water or un-gated dams are spilling. above the Full Supply Level, the water will spill out of the dam. This spilling cannot be controlled. Subscribers to Seqwater’s dam release notification service will also be notified when higher outflows are occurring from For our gated dams (Wivenhoe, Somerset and North Pine), if a spilling dam due to high inflows resulting from rainfall in the inflows result in the water level rising above the Full Supply catchment. Level, Seqwater will make controlled releases for either flood mitigation or to protect the safety of the dam. These notifications advise caution downstream due to potential hazards to people and property.

Happy to discuss at any time noting the proposed due date of COB 19 October 2012 From: Colin Nicolson [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Friday, 19 October 2012 1:10 PM To: Angus MacDonald Cc: George Passmore; Damian Scholz Subject: FW: Information Request 12 October 2012 Hello Angus Here are our responses to the above information request. QCA Question 1 - Cedar Pocket Stakeholders (Issues Arising (IA) Cedar Pocket 2012) submitted that more details were required regarding Seqwater’s proposed renewals expenditure [outlined in the NSP] on “electricity supply assets” in 2025-26 at $30,000. Please provide more details regarding this proposed expenditure. Seqwater Response to Item 1 The Assets in question are a property pole, meter box (excluding the meters), cabling and a distribution board. The renewal is scheduled based on the Seqwater “standard asset life” of 20 years for this type of equipment. It was installed in 2005 and will be 20 years old when the work is scheduled. The cost estimate is drawn from the estimated replacement costs as set out in Section 5.2.2 and Section 9 of the Irrigation Infrastructure Renewal Projections - 2013/14 to 2046/47 Report on Methodology. The renewal timing, will be reviewed on an ongoing basis so that it is only delivered when condition warrants. The scope and cost estimate will be reviewed prior to commencement of work to ensure the delivery is efficient.

  • Purified Recycled Water in the Lockyer Valley
    Fact Sheet December 2012 Purified Recycled Water in the Lockyer Valley The water supply security of South East Queensland (SEQ) has recently been increased by the construction of the Western Corridor Recycled Water Scheme. The infrastructure of advanced wastewater treatment plants provides purified recycled water (PRW) to the SEQ Water Grid for indirect potable reuse of effluent from urban areas. With a maximum combined production capacity of 232 million litres of PRW a day, it is the third largest recycled water scheme in the world and the largest in the southern hemisphere. This additional water supply is critical during drought conditions but is underused in wet periods. The provision of recycled water in an environmentally Background sound and socially-equitable manner requires measured The Urban Water Security Research Alliance (the Alliance) understanding of the potential impacts on the region’s worked closely with the Queensland Water Commission, soils, groundwater system, environment (such as salinity the former Queensland Department of Environment and issues) and the economy. Therefore, a holistic framework Resource Management, WaterSecure (now Seqwater) and was required to inform an integrated water management the SEQ Water Grid Manager, as well as irrigators and the plan involving the use of PRW. This was achieved through farming community. a multi-tiered assessment incorporating environmental risk analysis, climate modelling, regulatory considerations and Together we explored the feasibility of providing agro-economics. approximately 20 million litres per year of PRW to supplement irrigation supplies in the Lockyer Valley, 80 km The environmental risks and benefits from the supply of PRW west of Brisbane. were the core subjects addressed by this research, using a combination of field research, water quality and quantity Alliance research explored whether the use of PRW can serve modelling , and unstructured stakeholder interviews.
