The document describes the grueling work schedule of the Lowell Mill Girls in the mid-1800s. It details that the girls would wake up as early as 4:30 am, work from 5:30-7:30 am and then 8:05-12:30 pm, with only a 35 minute lunch break. They would then work again from 1:05-7:30 pm. By 1851, the earliest bell time was 5:40 am in March and evening bell ranged from 6:30-7:30 pm depending on the season. By 1864, the girls had an 11 hour work day but received a longer 45 minute lunch break. The document asks the reader to compare their daily schedule to that
The International WaterCentre (IWC) Master of Integrated Water Management program is designed to equip future water leaders with the knowledge and skills they need to create innovative, ‘whole-of-water-cycle’ solutions to local and global water challenges. The degree is co-badged and co-taught by IWC's four founding member universities: The University of Queensland, Griffith University, Monash University and The University of Western Australia.
The document discusses the importance of monitoring river health by selecting meaningful indicators. Key points include:
- River health depends on human values and can be assessed similarly to human health.
- Rivers face threats from pollution, loss of floodplains, and dams that block flows.
- Monitoring is important to protect environmental assets like biodiversity and drinking water.
- Effective monitoring requires clear objectives, indicators linked to threats, conceptual models, river classification, and reporting to guide management actions.
This document summarizes key issues and lessons from water resources planning and governance in highly contested river basins:
1. In heavily used river basins, it is no longer possible to allocate water to meet all demands. Water resources planning must shift to view water as integrated into the economy, not separate from it.
2. Social and cultural values must be understood and incorporated into the planning process, as people's values matter greatly in contested basins.
3. Environmental protection arguments require strong evidence when water development offers clear social and economic benefits, especially in developing countries. Good science and monitoring are needed.
4. Challenges of water, food, and energy security are intricately linked and must
This document provides an overview of the Bulimba Creek Catchment Coordinating Committee (B4C) and their efforts to preserve the Bulimba Creek catchment in Brisbane, Australia. B4C is a non-profit environmental group formed in 1997 that works with local communities and organizations on issues like habitat protection, erosion, weeds, and water quality. They lead revegetation efforts, weed control programs, environmental education initiatives in schools, and work with various partners and sponsors. B4C aims to involve the local community and raise awareness of threats to the local environment like urban development, land clearing, and inappropriate land uses.
This document discusses adaptive management frameworks for river health improvement and ecosystem monitoring programs. It focuses on the need for programs to be adaptive, engage stakeholders, and assess all components of complex ecological systems.
The document discusses the development of an Ecosystem Health Monitoring Program (EHMP) for streams and rivers in southeast Queensland, Australia. It outlines the process used to design a cost-effective monitoring program, including developing conceptual models, classifying waterways, pilot testing indicators, and a major field trial to evaluate the response of indicators to disturbance gradients. Key indicators were selected for the EHMP based on their ability to detect various types of disturbance and their association with catchment characteristics.
The Healthy Waterways Partnership works collaboratively across government, industry, research and community groups to manage water quality and catchments in South East Queensland through programs that protect waterways, manage sources of pollution, and restore habitats. Modelling and monitoring are used to identify priority areas for managing sediment, nutrients and other pollutants from urban, rural and natural sources to achieve water quality objectives for estuaries and coastal waters. Progress is tracked through report cards using ecosystem health and biological indicators to guide ongoing management strategies and investments.
This document discusses the development of a wireless sensor network system for environmental monitoring and management support. The key points are:
1) The system would be smart, distributed, low-cost, robust, adaptable, scalable, and eco-friendly to provide continuous data collection across ecological scales from satellite to ground sensors.
2) It represents a new platform that takes a multidisciplinary approach through phased R&D to evolve viable sensor network products that are broadly applicable beyond just the environments being monitored.
3) Initial transmission trials of the sensor network in sea environments showed promise while also demonstrating limitations of very low frequency communication that require further development of the system.
The document outlines a river health indicator monitoring program that measures indicators of river health at various sites. It lists the names and locations of sites that are monitored, including Luggage Pt STP, and shows the years that monitoring occurred at each site.
1. Water reform in Australia is led by the National Water Commission and National Water Initiative, which aim to establish a nationally compatible system for managing water resources.
2. Water management is primarily a state responsibility, but the federal government is involved in coordination, funding, and planning for transboundary systems like the Murray-Darling Basin.
3. Key elements of reform include clearer water entitlements, statutory water planning, increased water trading, consumption-based pricing, and ensuring environmental water needs are met.
This document discusses the level at which water take would compromise key environmental assets, ecosystem functions, productive base, and environmental outcomes for a water resource. It suggests monitoring water levels to ensure take does not exceed this level. Maintaining water levels protects the environment while allowing controlled water use.
Jennifer Martin gave a presentation on November 23, 2009 about aquatic ecosystems policy to the Aquatic Ecosystems Policy Section. The presentation covered policies relating to aquatic ecosystems and was given on behalf of Di Conrick from the Australian government's environment department website. The presentation addressed aquatic ecosystem policies.
This document discusses Australia's National Water Quality Management Strategy and its goals of protecting water resources while allowing for economic and social development. It outlines the strategy's key elements which include defining environmental values and water quality objectives, establishing water quality guidelines, developing monitoring programs, and taking management responses to achieve the objectives. The strategy takes a catchment-based approach and uses tools like predictive models and monitoring to assess progress towards the objectives.
The Water Group has four key objectives for stakeholder engagement: 1) enhance their understanding of stakeholder views on water issues; 2) increase stakeholder understanding of current water policies and programs and get their input in development of new policies; 3) respond to stakeholder concerns about water reform through policies and programs; and 4) improve stakeholder support for government water initiatives through greater understanding. They plan to achieve these objectives through community information sessions, stakeholder reference panels, regional contacts, consultations, and briefings.

It lists the host, Christine Schweizer, and presentation details from Seung-Hoon Baek on community water input, Bruce Gray on water quality, and Ben Docker on the Commonwealth Environmental Water Holder initiative. Contact information is provided for further information or questions.
This document discusses priorities for ensuring adequate water resources for the future, including enhancing hydrological modeling, establishing water metering standards, setting water research priorities, and developing a water compliance and enforcement framework. It focuses on actions needed across modeling, infrastructure, research, and regulation to manage water sustainably over the long run.
The document summarizes environmental values (EVs), water quality objectives (WQOs), and aquatic ecosystem health reporting. It defines EVs as the qualities of water that support aquatic ecosystems and human uses. WQOs are measures of water quality indicators that protect EVs. The document provides diagrams showing reference site locations and environmental flow objectives, with the goal of minimizing deviation to prevent environmental degradation. It also includes a table explaining the ratings used to present averaged assessments in reports.
Queensland's water planning process has two parts: (1) a Water Resource Plan which involves technical assessments, community consultation, and public review; and (2) a Resource Operations Plan which implements the WRP through monitoring, assessment and 10-year reviews. The WRP considers factors like hydrology, water use, climate change and environmental values.
The document summarizes water usage in Australia. It states that total average annual water consumption is about 4,500 GL/a, with 67% of that used for agriculture. The largest agricultural use is for irrigation. The document also lists several acts related to water management in Queensland and outlines some key water conservation and research programs.
This document discusses adaptive management frameworks for complex socio-ecological systems. It focuses on three key areas: assessing system health, engaging stakeholders, and monitoring programs.

河流的天然来水量及水资源可利用量是评估河流水文水资源健康的重要内容,
水文水资源不能仅仅评估流量过程变异程度,建议增加水资源可利用量、年径流变
差系数等指标。流量过程变异程度采用评估年内实测月径流过程与天然月径流过程

几点建议 Suggestions
5 、变综合评估为单指标评估
Change Integrated Assessment to Single Index Assessment
水文水资源评估中选择的流量过程变异程度与生态流量满足程度二者没有必然的联
系,正确的环境流量评估实际上也包括了水文情势的评估,计算方法中流量过程变
异程度完全采用现状年的数据,而生态流量满足程度则采用现状年与多年日均流量
数据,耦合评价的结果只能导致问题的掩盖。因此,建议河湖健康评估采用单指标
逐个进行评估。
