- Assessment of the water resource availability.
- Evaluation of bulk infrastructure plans and identification of proposed extensions.
- Identification and assessment of appropriate water resource augmentation options.
- Investigations of possible wastewater re-use options.
- Identification of environmental and water quality related issues.
- Documentation of the reconciliation process and strategy.
The following objectives have been set for the water reconciliation strategy:
- Identify interventions that will reconcile the water requirements with the available water supply over a 30 year planning timeframe.
- Develop a strategy that will be flexible to accommodate future changes in actual water use.
- Integrate augmentation and bulk supply options to achieve optimised overall benefits.
- 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
