Waterlines
Waterlines is a series of works commissioned by the National Water Commission on key water issues.
Provides a suite of practical and technically robust tools and approaches for water resource, catchment and ecosystem managers to identify GDEs.
Provides a synthesis and review of the findings of recent studies on the ecological water requirements of groundwater systems.
Summarises the results of extensive modelling and explores the implications of how climate change may affect groundwater recharge and discharge processes.
Investigates the feasibility of treating brackish groundwater as a community water supply option in regional and remote communities in Australia.
Reviews water allocation systems across Australia and analyses the extent to which, through carryover and similar tools, different water allocation systems currently contribute, or could contribute, to optimising water use.
ABARES has prepared an overview of changes in irrigated agriculture in the Basin for use by the Commission in its 2011 biennial assessment.
Investigates the potential application of time of use tariffs to reduce peak hour demand using hourly water consumption data collected by smart meters in Hervey Bay, Queensland, in 2008-09.
Uses National Performance Reports data over the past three years to measure and analyse efficiency, productivity and technological changes in the urban water supply industry.
Compares actual cost and water consumption data from four water supply schemes in South East Queensland.
Sets out a sequential process of assessment to identify the nature, scale and magnitude or risks associated with mining impacts on groundwater.
Presents a summary of the findings from the state trials of the Framework for Assessment of River and Wetland Health (FARWH).
Offers practical guidance to assist water planners and policy makers to better integrate surface water and groundwater connectivity into their water planning frameworks.
Explores how best to use environmental water in floodplain wetlands to optimise benefits to native fish.
Presents findings and recommendations on how to appropriately manage wetlands in inland Australia to minimise the accumulation of sulfidic sediments and remediate systems which are affected.
