ALL TOWNS RECONCILIATION STRATEGIES FOR THE NORTHERN PLANNING REGION

OBJECTIVES OF THE STRATEGIES

The All Towns Reconciliation Strategies focus on the following technical tasks:

  • Developing water requirement and return flow scenarios.
  • Assessment of the water resource availability.
  • Evaluate bulk infrastructure plans and proposed extensions.
  • Identify and assess appropriate water resource augmentation options.
  • Identify possible wastewater re-use options.
  • Recognize environmental and water quality related issues.
  • Document the reconciliation process and Strategies.

The following objectives have been set for reconciliation strategies:

  • To identify interventions that will reconcile the water requirements with the available water for the next 20 years (up to 2035).
  • To develop Strategies that will be flexible to accommodate future changes in actual water use.
  • To integrate augmentation and bulk supply options to achieve optimised overall benefits.
  • To engage extensively with stakeholders to build partnerships and promote co-operation.
  • Assess the potential savings that can be achieved through water conservation and water demand management measures as well as the potential for reconciling current and future water requirements.
  • Communicate the findings regularly to all stakeholders
