Assessing the Salinity Impacts of Coal Seam Gas Water on Landscapes and Surface Streams
註釋Irrigation, irrespective of water source, inherently carries a risk to soils and landscapes. This is due to an unavoidable change in the water and salt balance influencing processes such as deep drainage, runoff, lateral flow and groundwater recharge. The timeframe in which the risk will be expressed is driven by fundamental landscape attributes such as landform, the size of the unsaturated zone and soil properties, as well as management considerations such as the water application rate and crop water use. This report describes a framework to assess the salinity risk associated with the use of coal seam gas (CSG) water for irrigation in the Queensland Murray-Darling Basin (QMDB) The framework has four components - Biophysical Hazard, Salinity Stage, Current Management Influence and Post-Irrigation Land Use.
