2Protecting Our Rivers and Aquifers
1 The Strategy at a Regional Level Chapter Two 2 Protecting our Rivers and Aquifers This chapter outlines the Government’s action plan to protect and improve the health of rivers, estuaries and aquifers. The initiatives apply to the whole Central Region. Local actions are outlined in Chapter 4. In protecting and improving the health of the region’s rivers, it is essential to: • preserve the environment’s existing share of water • use this existing water for the environment more efficiently • increase the amount of water for the environment where it is not sufficient • undertake complementary works (such as revegetation of the streamside zone) to maximise the river health benefits of increasing environmental flows • manage the impacts of low inflows and climate change. Protecting our rivers The Government is committed to improving the health of Victoria’s There are many Aboriginal and other sites of significance associated rivers, floodplains and estuaries. These natural assets support with rivers and creeks. Aboriginal people have a strong social, cultural industry, tourism and recreation, and are highly valued by people and spiritual connection to the land and water. This Strategy, together who live and work around them. with the Regional River Health Strategies, will assist in ensuring that Protecting the health of our rivers ensures that the drinking rich Aboriginal heritage values will be protected and interpreted to water we extract from them is of a high quality. allow others to understand the Aboriginal communities’ significant cultural connection between land and water. The Regional River Rivers are also highly significant ecosystems in their own right. -

Functioning and Changes in the Streamflow Generation of Catchments
Ecohydrology in space and time: functioning and changes in the streamflow generation of catchments Ralph Trancoso Bachelor Forest Engineering Masters Tropical Forests Sciences Masters Applied Geosciences A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at The University of Queensland in 2016 School of Earth and Environmental Sciences Trancoso, R. (2016) PhD Thesis, The University of Queensland Abstract Surface freshwater yield is a service provided by catchments, which cycle water intake by partitioning precipitation into evapotranspiration and streamflow. Streamflow generation is experiencing changes globally due to climate- and human-induced changes currently taking place in catchments. However, the direct attribution of streamflow changes to specific catchment modification processes is challenging because catchment functioning results from multiple interactions among distinct drivers (i.e., climate, soils, topography and vegetation). These drivers have coevolved until ecohydrological equilibrium is achieved between the water and energy fluxes. Therefore, the coevolution of catchment drivers and their spatial heterogeneity makes their functioning and response to changes unique and poses a challenge to expanding our ecohydrological knowledge. Addressing these problems is crucial to enabling sustainable water resource management and water supply for society and ecosystems. This thesis explores an extensive dataset of catchments situated along a climatic gradient in eastern Australia to understand the spatial and temporal variation -
Miner's Right Agents
DEPARTMENT OF PRIMARY INDUSTRIES Miners Rights Most Commonly Asked Questions Most commonly asked questions Relevant sections from the Mineral Resources (Sustainable Development ) Act 1990 List of Exempted Rivers and Streams Where you can buy them Most commonly asked questions 1. What is a Miner’s Right? A Miner’s Right is a permit to prospect for minerals on unreserved Crown Land or Private Land where the permission of the landowner has been granted. 2. What is prospecting/fossicking? Prospecting involves the use of metal detectors, hand tools, pans or simple sluices in the search for gold and gemstones. 3. Why is a Miner’s Right required to prospect for minerals? All minerals belong to the Crown, even on private land. A Miner’s Right transfers the ownership of any minerals found whilst prospecting, to the holder of the Miners Right. 4. Who needs a Miner’s Right? Anyone searching for minerals needs to have an exploration licence, a mining licence or a Miner’s Right. 5. Does that mean that a Miner’s Right is required even if you are fossicking on your own land? Yes. 6. How much is a Miner’s Right? Refer to Earth Resources Fees and Charges 7. How long does a Miner’s Right last? You can purchase a Miner’s Right for 2 or 10 years, but not exceeding 10. 8. Do pensioners, people who are unemployed or people with disabilities receive any concessional discount if they purchase a Miner’s Right? No. 9. Do hobbyists or gemstone seekers require a Miner’s Right? Yes. -
Drought Impact on Fish Communities and River Health in the Corangamite Region
Drought impact on fish communities and river health in the Corangamite Region An isolated pool in Painkalac Creek. Tom Ryan and John McGuckin Report prepared for Corangamite Catchment Management Authority August 2007 Drought impact on fish communities and river health in the Corangamite Region Executive Summary This study provides a rapid assessment of river condition and aims to determine the key issues affecting aquatic health including the relative impact of drought. It is designed to help prioritise potential management actions in the drought response plan. Pre-existing catchment issues, such as water extraction, extensive land clearing and lack of riparian vegetation can directly affect river health and compounds impacts caused directly by drought. Where catchments have been degraded by past management practices, the severity of the drought upon stream health has been the most extreme. Waters examined in this study have been classified into 3 distinct classes of river health, streams with minor stress, streams with moderate stress and streams that have severe stress. Waterways with minor drought stress had lower streamflows than normal as a result of the drought but were in no immediate threat of becoming severely stressed by the drought. Waters classified as having moderate stress are ones in which the existing aquatic fauna is expected to be experiencing some stress, however, the stress is unlikely to have caused the loss of species. Streamflow may have ceased in freshwater reaches and water deterioration may have occurred in remaining refuge habitat, however, the duration of the stress upon aquatic fauna has only been for a relatively short period. -
