This line item represents transfers of water out of the South East Queensland (SEQ) region

Water transfer out of South East Queensland region
Transfer from Volume (ML)
Cressbrook Dam 3,234
Perseverance Dam 2,766
Total SEQ region 6,000

Although the Queensland Department of Environment and Resource Management (DERM) has records of entitlement, allocation and diversions from these reservoirs in the Water Entitlement Register Database (WERD) and Water Management System (WMS) database, data were needed from Toowoomba Regional Council to determine the diversions transferred out of the South East Queensland (SEQ) region to Toowoomba. This line item represents the surface water transfers out of the SEQ region only, not diversions for use within the SEQ region.

 

Quantification approach   


Data source

Toowoomba Regional Council.

 

Data provider

DERM.

 

Method

The volume of water transferred from Cressbrook and Perseverance reservoirs to Toowoomba for urban use was obtained by DERM from Toowoomba Regional Council. All transfers occurred from the Moreton water resource plan (WRP) area.

 

Uncertainty

Derived from measured data. DERM reliability and accuracy rating is A2 (see glossary).

 

Approximations, assumptions, caveats and limitations

DERM has accepted these measured transfer values from Toowoomba Regional Council in good faith.
