High and low flow regime changes at environmental assets across northern Australia under future climate and development scenarios

DL McJannet, JW Wallace, A Henderson and J McMahon, December 2009.
A report to the Australian government from the CSIRO Northern Australia Sustainable Yields Project.
This report summarises the assessment of the impact of current and predicted future water resources development on key environmental assets. It includes technical details on the approaches used and data produced and summarises data and knowledge gaps which must be addressed for robust future sustaianble yeilds assessments.

Information report for the Oolloo dolostone aquifer water allocation plan / Dept. of Natural Resources, Environment, the Arts and Sport.

This document is designed to introduce stakeholders and the community to the water allocation planning process for the Oolloo Aquifer. The Oolloo aquifer lies wholly within the Daly Roper Water Control district, stretching beneath the Daly river from southwest of Katherine and extending northwest to just beyond the Douglas River. Key assessments are to define the extent and capacity of the aquifer, to estimate future consumptive use and Indigenous stakeholders aspirations and build a model of the aquifer to predict ground and surface water levels under extraction regimes. The plan is for all licences to be issued by late 2010.

Sustainable Practices Implementation in NT Agriculture (SPINTA)

T. West
NTHA, National Landcare Programme
This will involve undertaking best practice demonstration days for the key areas contained in the guidelines developed in the 'Best practice for sustainable land use in the Northern Territory project' and facilitate further uptake of environmental management plans.

Identify Aquatic Priorities for Inland Waters Across the Northern Territory

M. Kraatz, P. Jolly, M. Douglas and P. Lloyd
This project will provide information to enable more integrated decision making and planning relating to the Territory's inland aquatic ecosystems. It will review current information about these ecosystems (including wetlands, waterways and groundwaters), determine gaps in critical information for planning for sustainable resource use, prioritise research and monitoring work to fill these gaps and identify catchments and groundwater aquifers at risk from salinity, nutrients, toxins or sediment pollution, and recommend appropriate action. The work will be assisted by an Advisory Group with technical expertise to ensure all necessary information is gathered and assessed appropriately. The work will be done in collaboration with proposed projects under IW1 and IW2 assessing water monitoring requirements and environmental and cultural values. Analytical and risk assessment reporting will identify research and monitoring requirements for improving the information base for future natural resource management and the protection of inland waters.
