Full description
This assessment examines water resources in the North East Coast region in 2009–10 and over recent decades. Seasonal variability and trends in modelled water flows, water stores and water levels are valuated for the region and also in more detail at selected sites for rivers, wetlands and aquifers. Information on water use is provided for selected urban centres and irrigation areas. It begins with an overview of key data and information on water flows, stores and use in the region in recent times followed by a brief description of the region.
Surface water quality, which is important in any water resources assessment, is not addressed. At the time of writing, suitable quality controlled and assured surface water quality data from the Australian Water Resources Information System (Bureau of Meteorology
2011a) were not available. Groundwater and water use are only partially addressed for the same reason.In future reports, these aspects will be dealt with more thoroughly as suitable data become operationally available.
Data time period: 07 2009 to 30 06 2010
