Water For Rivers - Projects

The types of projects which the Company intends to investigate include:

further pipelining of open-channel domestic and stock systems;
fitting meters to currently unmetered domestic and stock supply intakes within gravity channel systems;
repairing, rehabilitating or replacing meters on farmers outlets to improve accuracy;
constructing regulators on wetlands adjoining rivers to prevent inundation during peak irrigation periods and from rainfall rejections flows;
construction of re-regulation storages within irrigation systems to capture rainfall rejection flows;
partitioning or by-passing in-line regulation storages to reduce surface area and hence evaporation;
automating main and secondary canal gates and outfall structures;
construction of on-farm storages to capture rainfall rejections flows;
repairing and rehabilitating channel banks, structures and linings to reduce seepage and leakage;
pipelining tertiary (spur) channels in irrigation systems; and
on-farm water saving projects eg. centre pivot irrigation systems.
