Methods
SOCIO-ECONOMIC
DRIVERS
• How are landholders
likely to respond to
different climates and
entitlement access rules?
Availability, allowability and
viability of groundwater
resources.
INSTITUITIONS & LEGAL
INSTRUMMENTS
•What legal regime
(compliance/enforcement, etc)
could be set in Gnangara, and could
this inform Namoi reform?
• Could Namoi legal data inform
Gnangara?
•What is the efficacy of existing
policy and regulatory approaches?
•What are the references/options
for innovative/future policy
approaches?
•Efficacy of existing collaborative
governance arrangements
•Preferences/options for
innovative/future collaborative
governance arrangements
HYDROLOGICAL
• How will landuse and extraction
affect groundwater and surface
water (volumes, timing etc)?
Groundwater levels / surface
water/ groundwater interactions.
ECOLOGICAL
• How will current and future
resource developments impact
upon the achievement of the
riverine ecological functional
targets?
Surface water/groundwater
resources are able to supply low
flow pools for ecological survival.
SOCIO-ECONOMIC IMPACTS
•What are the trade-offs/impacts
associated with different climates,
and entitlement and access rules,
including ecological?
• How can the desired outcomes
of different stakeholder groups be
achieved?
Compliance
INTEGRATIVE MODEL
Stakeholder engagement in all the project components.
Groups include:
• Farmers who rely on groundwater /surface water,
•Other industries, industry groups and community groups who value water for non-irrigation purposes,
• The Namoi CMA,
• Local government,
• State government agency staff.
