Water Future opportunities–short-term Opportunity 1 Provide clear, transparent and science-based mechanisms to identify and make available water resources to support resource, agricultural and industrial expansion and development. Opportunity 2 Work with local government on water supply solutions for communities with projected water supply shortfalls resulting from increased growth or drought. Opportunity 3 Support and encourage innovative water efficient and waterless technology for domestic, industrial and agricultural use to delay or avoid the need to construct costly additional water infrastructure. Opportunity 4 Maintain water supplies to meet requirements, minimise flood risks and keep dams safe. Opportunity 5 Develop a long-term water infrastructure supply and demand assessment which addresses water infrastructure projects and opportunities. Opportunity 6 In partnership with local governments and water utilities, assess options to provide new water sources to the northern part of SEQ where demand is forecast to exceed supply beyond 2030. Case study Improving infrastructure efficiency through smart metering technology In order to produce accurate forecasts for water usage, a good understanding of current water usage patterns is needed. The residential sector consumes about 70 per cent of the water used in SEQ, therefore understanding usage patterns of residential water customers is a key driver in producing accurate water usage forecasts. Many of the current assumptions used to forecast water usage were established prior to or during the SEQ Millennium Drought. There have been significant behavioural and structural changes as a result of this drought and therefore these assumptions may no longer be valid. Forecasts based on these assumptions are therefore unlikely to be accurate, creating risks in terms of efficient infrastructure investments and revenue generation. Demand forecasts are critical to the planning of future infrastructure, assessing demand management measures and pricing. Differences between actual and forecast usage can lead to potential overinvestment, incurring unnecessary costs or underinvestment that results to service shortfalls. To address this situation Seqwater, in collaboration with other SEQ service providers and Griffith University, has commenced a trial of smart meters on selected water connections. This will allow the collection of more detailed data to better understand residential water use behaviour, including changes in daily use associated with rainfall and temperature, and peak water demand patterns. In particular, data from these trials will be used to monitor changes in water usage due to changes in prices, climatic conditions, population and demand management measures. The data will allow more reliable forecasts and better decision-making in terms of future planning for infrastructure investment. It will enable service providers and Seqwater to accurately assess a wide range of infrastructure utilisation options. The data will also provide Seqwater with early awareness of any ‘rebound’ in demand following the drought and prepare for changes in demand, rather than needing to be reactive.
