Surface Water Management and Self Sufficiency
Analysis of the Regional Water Demand
GHD
Presented is an assessment of regional water demand from the Water Corporation and Integrated Water Supply Scheme (IWSS), commonly know as the "Scheme". The subsystem of the IWSS that services a large proportion of the Avon River Basin is known as the Goldfields and Agricultural Water Supply (G&AWS) Scheme. The following assessment includes an analysis of potential alternative water supplies in addition to the cost of water within the Avon Region. The objective of undertaking the assessment was to provide recommendations to the Avon Catchment Council for informing priorities for investment and in setting targets for reduced reliance on the Water Corporation Scheme.
Environmental Water Flow Requirements
GHD
GHD were engaged by the Avon Catchment Council to assess trends in water use at a Local Government level and to set water consumption targets within the Avon River basin.
Environmental Water Flow Requirements
GHD
This report forms part of an investigation undertaken for Wheatbelt NRM within the Water Management and Self Sufficiency Project - IWM006. The report is part of a project focussed on assessing the impact of farm dams on environmental flows within the Avon River. The aim of the investigation was to provide a preliminary determination of the effect that increased catchment storages, namely in the form of farm dams, have on the environmental flows of the Avon River.
Constructed Storage Analysis for the Avon Arc
GHD
An analysis was undertaken on the impact of farm dams on flows within the Avon River. This report is one of a series of investigations that consider potential impact of development within the Avon Arc on environmental flows within the Avon River.

GHD
A skills audit was identified within GHD's methodology for delivery management action targets associated with IWM 006, of the Avon Catchment Council (ACC) 2005 2006 Investment Plan. In particular, the skills audit and associated activities including review of current training programs and development of best management criteria are aimed at developing capacity for farm/catchment water management skills within the region.
