Water Plan Review - Burnett and Logan #engageinthemundane #Water plans are some of the most important pieces of #Queensland #legislation for #rural and #regional areas. At least two of these plans are currently under review and the result of this review could mean substantial changes to the way water is regulated in these catchments. Apart from localised management areas, large parts of these basins do not currently have strict regulations or licences for the take of groundwater and overland flow (dams). I expect this to change. They may not end up with controls like catchments within the Murray Darling Basin (e.g. Condamine and Balonne), but they will be more strict. Water regulation doesn't go the other direction. Get involved and speak to your local water office. Also make sure you understand the water potential within your property as you may not have the same freedom to manage water as you do now. How can you do this? - Pump tests - Install water meters - Dam catchment and reliability assessments - Local aquifer assessments Think of this as being a PMAV for your water.

We've been saying it for years. Funding agencies, water funding agencies want regional projects. More efficient, more cost-effective, and better long-term water management. Now, #Virginia local governments will now have to plan for #regional #water #supplies Virginia’s State Water Control Board amended regulations last week that will require local governments in the same river basin to work together in crafting plans for water supply and use. They are not alone. State and federal agencies are looking more favorably at regional projects. Water is a shared resource. Codifying that with interlocal agreements is smart politically and environmentally.   #localgovernment #watersuppliers #watersupplies Texas Water Development Board Texas City Management Association Texas Rural Water Association (TRWA) Texas Association of Counties https://lnkd.in/eFWAq-Yk

Virginia’s State Water Control Board amended regulations last week to how Virginia handles water supply planning. Previously, local governments could choose whether they wanted to submit their water supply and use plans independently or work with other localities in a regional approach. The changes now require local governments in the same river basin to work together in crafting these plans. This change was preceded by a report by the Joint Legislative Audit Review Commission that found that “without regional planning, localities may miss opportunities to collaborate on high-cost water supply projects, and some localities may have greater access to water than others.” Read more ➡ https://lnkd.in/gtk-JVb7 #ResilientCommunities #WaterManagement #Equity

A Water Diary: Taps Running Dry in Rescos Compound By Womba Kasela Our water series has unveiled significant challenges confronting water utilities in fulfilling the demand to supply water to their customers. Many of these companies are grappling with heightened issues regarding the reliability of their water supply. https://lnkd.in/da_z7YXp https://lnkd.in/e5f8D-RG https://lnkd.in/eZwsQgKM In the face of a severe scarcity of water supply from Nkana Water Sanitation and Sewerage Company, residents of Rescos Compound in Kitwe district, Copperbelt Province, are compelled to depend on water from shallow wells to meet their daily water requirements. The challenges confronting the residents of Rescos are not isolated incidents; rather, they symbolise the broader struggles endured by many Zambians in dealing with water utilities, as highlighted in previous MakanDay reports on water-related issues.
