Aquaterra's water census includes the following recommendations:
- Surface water gauging of major creeks in the project area should be conducted in consultation with NSW Office of Water.
- A Hydrogeology Study, Stage 2, should be undertaken after the installation of monitoring bores.
The Association has always maintained that a full hydrogeological study should be conducted before any drilling takes place. We encourage members and landowners to continue to argue for this study to be done. If drilling occurs, our water may be compromised.
The Association will follow up with NSW Office of Water to ensure it is involved with surface water gauging.
Centennial Coal claim to have "received an overwhelming response" to their water census, however they fail to acknowledge that the Association encouraged our membership base of nearly one hundred to participate in the census via newsletters and blogs, no doubt adding to that response.
