Mallee, VIC - Project supervisor for Stage II Mallee drilling program as part of on-going deep drilling program. The ultimate aims of the project are to determine the hydrodynamics of the Murray Darling Basin.
Northern Victoria - Drilling supervisor for a drilling program delineating the Calivil Formation and taking samples of groundwater for the Calivil Formation sands, the major saline aquifer in Northern Victoria.
Underbool, VIC – On site hydrogeologist and drilling supervisor for a 550-metre-deep groundwater observation bore. The purpose of the drilling program was to determine the characteristics of the marine aquitards in the Murray Darling Basin.
Mascot and Double Bay, Sydney, NSW - Slug testing in shallow piezometers to determine the hydraulic conductivity of clays and shales.
Sydney, NSW – Carried out the hydrogeological investigation of sandstone adjoining a redevelopment site on Sydney Harbour to assess the extent of sea water inflow from the harbour into a proposed excavation. For Peter Burgess and Associates.
Manly, NSW – Carried out drilling supervision and pump testing of bores and piezometers adjacent to a sea wall to investigate the hydraulic properties of sand in the bay as part of a dewatering program. For Sabemo.
Victoria – Prepared 10 Groundwater Management Areas including calculating the allowable annual groundwater usage in each in country Victoria. For Department of Natural Resources and Environment.
Victoria – Undertook an assessment of the Groundwater Status in the Upper Loddon Groundwater Catchment of Central Victoria. For Department of Natural Resources and Environment.
Tatura, Vic – Twelve months as Project Manager for the Implementation of the Shepparton Irrigation Region Groundwater Management Plan. For Goulburn-Murray Water.
Tatura, Vic – Project Manager and Project Director on a wide range of projects over a 17-year period assisting Goulburn-Murray Water’s groundwater and salinity management groups with policy, guideline and management system development for groundwater related issues. Client: Goulburn-Murray Water.
Tatura, Vic – Project Manager and member of a Technical Steering Committee for a project considering the water balance and salt storage and mobilization mechanisms in the Shepparton Irrigation Region of northern Victoria. The aim of the project being to develop policy and procedures for the adaptive management of salinity in the SIR under any future land use and climate scenario. Client: Goulburn-Murray Water/Department of Sustainability & Environment.
Wimmera, Victoria – Technical specialist in applying the Monte Carlo technique to groundwater resource assessments across the Wimmera in eastern Victoria. The technique was used to assess the key elements of the typical groundwater balance and the potential impacts on the groundwater volumes and levels in each area as a result of climate change to the year 2070. Client: Grampians Wimmera Mallee Water.
Kerang Lakes, Victoria – Project manager and technical specialist in applying the Monte Carlo technique to assessing potential salinity impacts to lake water quality by altering filling regimes in 5 of the RAMSAR listed Kerang lakes under a range of potential filling scenarios. Client: GMW Connections.
Greens Lake, Woolshed Lake, Lake Meran, Victoria – Project manager and technical specialist in applying the Monte Carlo technique to assessing potential salinity impacts to lake water quality by altering filling regimes in three northern Victorian lakes identified for receiving environmental water from water saving projects. Client: GMW Connections.
Wakool-Tullakool Subsurface Drainage Scheme (WTSSDS), NSW – Project manager and technical reviewer of two projects to consider the potential salinity risk across the Murray Irrigation region of southern New South Wales and potential redundancy options for the WTSSDS due to reductions in future salinity risks across the region.
