01/11/2007 Gwydir This scoping study focuses on groundwater within the jurisdiction of the Border Rivers-Gwydir Catchment Management Authority and suggests research which can be undertaken towards improving knowledge of the resource. It captures our current understanding of groundwater quality, quantity and interaction with rivers in Border Rivers and Gwydir catchments.
10/10/2007 Gwydir 3 CMA funding for on-farm Water Use Efficiency activities
01/10/2007 Gwydir This report covers the Border Rivers, Moonie and Lower Balonne catchments in the QueenslandMurray Darling Committee, Inc., (QMDC) management area with the focus of determining priority groundwater projects. There are three major alluvial groundwater management issues in the QMDC management area. In the east the Dumaresq River is highly connected to the alluvial aquifers which are used for groundwater extraction by the irrigation sector. The groundwater model that covers these alluvial aquifers, and which was used as part of informing the water allocations between NSW and QLD, needs to be updated. There is new information in the form of longer hydrograph records, better understanding of river aquifer interactions, longer river flow records and new approaches to catchment water balance modelling that can all be integrated to give a better catchment water balance model for input into groundwater management decisions. The main issue for the irrigation industry is that overuse of groundwater from the Dumaresq River alluvia may influence river flows, including water released for downstream users.
