  • Pimpama River Catchment Hydrological Study Addendum Report
    Pimpama River Catchment Hydrological Study Addendum Report July 2015 Title: Pimpama River Catchment Hydrological Study - Addendum Report 2015 Author: Study for: City Planning Branch Planning and Environment Directorate The City of Gold Coast File Reference: WF18/44/02 (P3) TRACKS #50622520 Version history Changed by Reviewed by & Version Comments/Change & date date 1.0 Adoption of BOM’s new IFD 2013 2.0 Grammar Review Distribution list Name Title Directorate Branch NH Team PE City Planning TRACKS-#50622520-v3-PIMPAMA_RIVER_HYDROLOGICAL_STUDY_ADDENDUM_REPORT_JULY_2015 Page 2 of 26 1. Executive Summary The City of Gold Coast (City) undertook a hydrological study for Pimpama River catchment in December 2014 (City 2014, Ref 1). In the study, the Pimpama River catchment hydrological model was developed using the URBS modelling software. The model was calibrated to three historical flood events and verified against another four flood events. The design rainfalls from 2 to 2000 year annual recurrence intervals (ARIs) of the study were based on study undertaken by Australian Water Engineering (AWE) in 1998 and CRC-FORGE. In early 2015, the Bureau of Meteorology (BOM) released new IFD (2013) design rainfalls as part of the revision of Engineers Australia’s design handbook ‘Australian Rainfall and Runoff: A Guide to Flood Estimation’. In July 2015, the 2014 calibrated Pimpama hydrological model was used to run the design events using rainfall data obtained from the BOM’s new 2013 IFD tables. This report documents the review of City 2014 model and should be read in conjunction with the City 2014 hydrological study report. The original forest factor, catchment and channel parameters obtained from the 2014 calibrated Pimpama hydrological model were used for this study update.

  • Condamine River Catchment, Qld
    HYDROCHEMICAL AND ISOTOPIC INDICATORS OF HYDROLOGICAL PROCESSES WITHIN COAL SEAM GAS FORMATIONS AND ADJACENT AQUIFERS, CONDAMINE RIVER CATCHMENT, QLD. Daniel Des Rex Owen BNatRes MSc (Research) Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy School of Earth, Environmental and Biological Sciences Science and Engineering Faculty Queensland University of Technology 2016 Keywords Aquifer interactions; Bromide; Carbon isotopes; Chloride; Coal seam gas; Coal bed methane; Compositional data analysis; Dissolved Organic Carbon; Hydrochemical indicator; Hydrogen isotopes; Inverse modelling; Isometric log ratios; Lithium; Major ions; Methane; Methanogenesis; Multivariate statistics; Sodium-bicarbonate groundwater; Stable isotopes of lithium; Stable isotopes of chlorine; Thermodynamic controls Hydrochemical and isotopic indicators of hydrological processes within coal seam gas formations and adjacent aquifers, Condamine River catchment, QLD. i Abstract In areas where a range of industries and economies rely on the extraction of water, aquifer connectivity can be a controversial issue and in some cases it may lead to water resource conflict- and management-challenges. Recently, the expansion of the coal seam gas industry has raised concerns about the risks to aquifers adjacent to gas-bearing aquifers because water needs to be extracted from the coal seams in order to release the sorbed gas. Consequently, there is a need to: a) understand aquifer connectivity in particular areas; and b) critique the effectiveness of different parameters that can be applied to understand interactions between coal seam gas formations and adjacent aquifers. This study provided a hydrochemical and isotopic assessment within and between a coal measure aquifer (the Walloon Coal Measures) that is being exploited for coal seam gas reserves, and a large, agriculturally- important alluvial aquifer (the Condamine River alluvium), in south east Queensland, Australia.

  • Caboolture Shire Handbook
    SHIRE HANDBOOK CABOOLTURE QUEENSLAND DEPARTMENT OF PRIMARY INDUSTRIES LIMITED DISTRIBUTION - GOV'T.i 1NSTRUHENTALITY OFFICERS ONLY CABOOLTURE SHIRE HANDBOOK compiled by G. J. Lukey, Dipl. Trop. Agric (Deventer) Queensland Department of Primary Industries October 1973. The material in this publication is intended for government and institutional use only, and is not to be used in any court of law. 11 FOREWORD A detailed knowledge and understanding of the environment and the pressures its many facets may exert are fundamental to those who work to improve agriculture, or to conserve or develop the rural environment. A vast amount of information is accumulating concerning the physical resources and the farming and social systems as they exist in the state of Queensland. This information is coming from a number of sources and references and is scattered through numerous publications and unpublished reports. Shire Handbooks, the first of which was published in February 1969, are an attempt to collate under one cover relevant information and references which will be helpful to the extension officer, the research and survey officer or those who are interested in industry or regional planning or in reconstruction. A copy of each shire handbook is held for reference in each Division and in each Branch of the Department of Primary Industries in Brisbane. In addition Agriculture Branch holds at its Head Office and in each of its country centres, Shire Handbooks, Regional Technical Handbooks (notes on technical matters relevant to certain agricultural industries in the Shire) and monthly and annual reports which are a continuing record of the progress and problems in agriculture.

  • Brisbane River Catchment Flood Studies Settlement and Have Included Dredging and Removal of a Bar at the Mouth of the River
    Managing flood risk Projects to improve flood mitigation in Brisbane and the surrounding areas have been discussed since European Brisbane River Catchment Flood Studies settlement and have included dredging and removal of a bar at the mouth of the river. Dams have an important role to play in water storage and flood mitigation in the Brisbane River catchment. Somerset and Wivenhoe Dams are the two main dams in the Brisbane River catchment. In addition to providing major water supply, they also play a role in reducing the impact of flood events. However due to the complexities of the catchment area such as its A history of living with flooding size and the amount of rainfall downstream of dams, total flood prevention is not possible. Flood Study Living with flooding is a part of life in the Brisbane River catchment and as a community we need to be informed, ready and resilient. The Queensland Government and local councils have partnered to deliver the Brisbane River Catchment We can’t prevent future floods. However, there are ways we can increase our level of preparedness and resilience to flood Flood Study (Flood Study), to investigate regional scale flooding across the Brisbane River floodplain that is caused by events across the Brisbane River floodplain. The Queensland Government and local governments are working on a long- substantial rainfall across the Brisbane River catchment. Knowledge gained from historical flood events was critical to the term plan to manage the impact of future floods and improve community safety and resilience. development of the Flood Study, which provides valuable information about the varying size and frequency of potential The Flood Study was completed in early 2017 and provides the most up-to-date flood information about the probabilities floods across the floodplain to better assess the likely impact of flood events in the future.
