Eurobodalla Integrated Water Cycle Management Strategy

Eurobodalla Integrated Water Cycle Management Strategy
Immediate and short term measures as discussion in section 8.3.3. The initial
capacity of northern and southern filtration plants would be 23.5 ML/d and 9 ML/d
A comprehensive demand management comprising:
− Community education targeting outdoor irrigation
− A active program to retrofit water efficient fittings and equipment, such as
shower roses and aerated taps
− Pricing adjustments
− Active system leak detection and repair
10 kL rainwater tank for all new developments with water used for garden, toilet
flushing and washing machines, and a retrofit of 10 kL rainwater tanks in 20% of
existing houses
Provision of reticulated water supply to high priority villages
Provision of reticulated water supply to low priority villages
Opportunistic reclaimed water reuse for agriculture
Reclaimed water reuse for aquifer recharge for subsequent non-potable water use
Reclaimed water reuse for non-potable water use in new developments (dual
reticulation)
Environmental flow substitution in the Moruya River upstream of irrigators on a
greater than 1:3 dilution basis
Non-potable water reuse for garden watering and toilet flushing in new
developments and/or by injecting reclaimed water into the aquifer near Broulee for
subsequent use by the householders through their individual spear points.
Analysis shows that this will defer the need for the southern dam. Analysis indicates that the
Southern dam will be needed between year 2035 and 2040.
