  • FROM DROUGHT to FLOOD Marcus Boyd Toowoomba Regional
    Winner of Ecolab Prize for Best Operator Paper at the th 36 Qld Water Industry Operations Workshop, Toowoomba, June 2011 TOOWOOMBA 2011 - FROM DROUGHT TO FLOOD Paper Presented by: Marcus Boyd Author: Marcus Boyd, Senior Technical Officer, Toowoomba Regional Council 6th Annual WIOA NSW Water Industry Engineers & Operators Conference Tamworth Regional Entertainment & Conference Centre, 27 to 29 March, 2012 6th Annual WIOA NSW Water Industry Engineers & Operators Conference Page No. 64 Tamworth Regional Entertainment & Conference Centre, 27 to 29 March, 2012 TOOWOOMBA 2011 - FROM DROUGHT TO FLOOD Marcus Boyd, Senior Technical Officer, Toowoomba Regional Council ABSTRACT Up until January 2011 the Toowoomba region was in the grip of one of the worst droughts on record. During the dry conditions Council implemented measures to conserve the remaining storage supplies, Level 5 water restrictions were introduced and ground water extraction was increased after drilling and equipping additional basalt aquifer bores. In January 2011 flood events were experienced and all 3 surface storage supplies filled above full supply level. The flood event stretched Council resources to the limit and caused significant damage to council’s water infrastructure. Sewer and water mains were washed from their foundations, major pump stations were submerged and dam walls experienced water levels and hydraulic loads higher than ever previously recorded. 1.0 INTRODUCTION From late 2004 until early 2010 Toowoomba’s three surface storage supplies Cressbrook, Perseverance and Cooby dams received little to no inflow, resulting in declining storage levels down to the lowest recorded combined storage of 7.8 % in late February 2010. In March 2010, 188mm of rain fell in the catchment and lifted the combined storage to 17.2%, followed by significant further rainfall in December 2010 and January 2011 which resulted in the filling of Toowoomba’s dams for the first time in ten years.

  • Totley Township Queensland H
    Mining has had a profound and unique impact on the social and economic development of Australia. This was never more so than in north Queensland where the early industry created new wealth, changed whole landscapes and left fascinating examples of past mining technology lying forgotten in the small settlements, green rainforests and vast savannah plains of the region. Geographically, this guide takes the day-tripper on informative tours from the major north Queensland destinations of Cairns and Townsville, to the easily accessible hinterland gold mining towns of Ravenswood and Charters Towers and on to the tin and copper towns of Herberton, Irvinebank and Chillagoe. Travellers with more time can ‘go west’ from Townsville to the rich red country of the Selwyn Ranges and the historic copper mines of the Cloncurry and Mount Isa district. Others may follow the route from Cairns through the tin fields of the Atherton Tablelands to the Hodgkinson, Etheridge and Croydon goldfields, or take the Cape York trail through Mareeba or Cooktown to the fabulous Palmer River Goldfield. With information and pictures the guide tells a story extending from the 1870s gold rushes, through the tin and copper booms of the late 19th century to uranium mining in the 1950s. It features the technology of mines, stamp batteries, smelters and mining railways and encompasses a range of architectural styles from simple miners huts to grandiose public buildings. This diversity combines to make North Queensland’s Mining Heritage Trails an important contribution to the published record of Queensland’s heritage - a colourful and fascinating guide to your own journey along the MINING TREASURE TRAIL.

  • Modelling Water Allocation Increases Using Climate Predictions
    University of Southern Queensland Faculty of Health, Engineering and Sciences Modelling Water Allocation Increases Using Climate Predictions A dissertation submitted by Mr. Daniel Graham Verrall In fulfilment of the requirements of Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) (Civil) October 2016 ABSTRACT Water allocations in Australia often commence at the start of the year with less than 100% supply and rely on seasonal streamflows into dams throughout the year to meet demand. Therefore more than ever, water allocation models are used with forward planning in order to effectively manage water supply. This dissertation focuses on developing a water allocation model incorporating climate forecasts for Cressbrook Dam, a major water supplier for the regional town of Toowoomba. After determining the best climate index of ENSO, the methodology focussed on identifying a relationship between streamflow and SOI on a monthly and seasonal scale and the creation of the water balance model. To apply the findings of these results, the use of three water management scenarios were then run through the water balance model using an extended streamflow sequence. This analysis indicated that there was a significant correlation in the months of December to March which was further strengthened when looking at a seasonal scale. A consistently positive SOI observed in November suggested that there was a 100% chance that the dam level will substantially increase and this to develop alternative water management scenarios that raised restrictions when this SOI phase was observed. By raising restrictions early, these management scenarios achieved a reduction of around 280 days from level 5 water restrictions which would have relieved the residents of Toowoomba during a major drought period.
