Water security | Water security risks | 7.1a | Please identify the substantive risks to your region’s water security as well as the timescale and level of risk. | 5 | Risk description | 1 | The water resources and water consumption of the ACT region are highly influenced by climate variability. The spatial and temporal variability of temperature, evaporation and rainfall largely determine the level of urban water supply security (i.e. reliability). Future climate scenarios are fundamental to the level of the ACT’s future water security. This was evident when South-eastern Australia experienced 7 years of severe drought between 2002 and 2009. The duration and impacts of this "Millennium Drought" were unprecedented in the ACT’s historical climatic record since Federation. For one year in 2006 stream flows reduced to 90% but averaged around 60%, and water storages fell to low levels (approximately 30% of capacity), and severe water restrictions (Stage 3) were imposed for almost 4.5 years across the period 2003 to 2010. Stage 4 restrictions which require no outside watering were nearly enacted, however a storm in 2007 averted this stage. Additionally, the light soaking autumn rainfall has decreased significantly, with an almost 40% reduction observed over the period 1997 to 2010 as compared to the long term average. Over the same period, spring and summer rainfalls have increased however these are delivered as intense and localised storms. This change continued through the 2010/2011 wet years. Considering the lessons from the Millennium Drought and the changing seasonality of rainfall, there are expected to remain long-term water related risks as a result of increasing population growth combined with periods of reduced rainfall. If climate emerges drier than projected it will further compromise the ACT’s water supply security. The likelihood to this scenario happening is ‘Possible’ and would lead to ‘Major’ to ‘Severe’ consequences, such as the water supply system not able to meet the ACT’s unrestricted demand for water. | |||

| 728 | 53268 | Australian Capital Territory | 7. Water security | Water security risks | 7.2 | Please describe the actions you are taking to reduce the risks to your region’s water security. | 2 | Adaptation action | 1 | Diversifying water supply (including new sources) | |||
| 729 | 53268 | Australian Capital Territory | 7. Water security | Water security risks | 7.2 | Please describe the actions you are taking to reduce the risks to your region’s water security. | 3 | Action description | 1 | The ACT has mitigated short to medium-term water supply security risks by recently completing two major construction projects: 1. Construction of an enlarged Cotter Dam, completed in October 2013 at a cost of AUD$410m, has increased the ACT’s water storage capacity by 35%; and 2. Construction of the Murrumbidgee to Googong Water Transfer Pipeline, completed in September 2012 at a cost of AUD$140m. The ACT’s long term water security is managed through day-to-day permanent water conservation measures to ensure supply through extended dry periods. The utility established these water conservation measures by basing modelling on 2030 climate change impacts. Prior to water conservation measures, Canberra’s annual water consumption averaged between 60-65 GL. Since water conservation measures were put in place, overall water consumption figures dropped to 47.8 GL during 2012-13, and 47.1 GL during 2014-15 representing a 27% saving in per capita demand relative to 1993-2002 levels. In very extended dry periods, when storage levels are low, water can be pumped from two pump stations located on the upper Murrumbidgee River. For even more protracted dry periods, when the river’s natural flows are low, extra water can be sourced through water trading and through the arranged releases from Snowy Hydro Limited’s Tantangara Reservoir as part of a portfolio of water rights already acquired. Building supply system resilience is a risk management measure. In this context, resilience includes the following: 1. a diverse range of independent water sources and demand management measures; such as accessing more reliable water catchments or less rainfall dependant sources, or implementing a range of unrelated but concurrent demand management measures. 2. system interconnectivity to take advantage of any excesses in the system; such as gridding of water sources (the Cotter Googong Bulk Water Transfer is one example of interconnectivity already in place) 3. planning flexibility; allowing implementation of the responses best suited to actual emerging futures. There is an expectation that parallel severe drought contingency plans will be prepared. Drought contingency plans comprise more short-term emergency response plans that will ensure that basic water needs for a community can be met for the duration of a very severe drought. | |||
