GRAPH

Components of the dashboard that are not relevant to your particular entitlement will still appear in your dashboard, but may not populate with any information.


Water dashboard components Following is a simple explanation of each component that you will see in your water dashboard.

Pumping opportunity This component will show you if you are currently allowed to take water.

When a pumping opportunity is not available, the word OFF will be displayed and the component will turn red. When a pumping opportunity is available the word ON will be displayed and the component will turn green.

Surface water

There are four different states that can occur with surface water as follows:

ON / ON This state indicates a pumping opportunity is available.

ON / OFF This state indicates that flows have fallen below the passing flow trigger, however a manual decision has been made to allow for pumping opportunities to continue.


OFF / ON This state indicates that flows are above the passing flow trigger, however a manual decision has been made to stop all pumping opportunities.

OFF / OFF This state indicates a pumping opportunity is not available.

You will receive a notification alert to your registered email address or as an SMS to your phone if there are changes to your pumping opportunity


Groundwater

There are four different states that can occur with groundwater as follows:

ON / ON This state indicates a pumping opportunity is available.

ON / OFF This status indicates that water levels have fallen below the reference bore height, however a manual decision has been made to allow for pumping opportunities to continue.

OFF / ON This state indicates that water levels are above the reference bore height, however a manual decision has been made to stop all pumping opportunities.


OFF / OFF This state indicates a pumping opportunity is not available.

Pumping opportunity details

This component shows information about the pumping opportunity event in which you can access water.

It includes the following details:

• Announced Volume (ML) for the period

• Pumping Opportunity Start date

• Pumping Opportunity Cease date

The date and time in the middle indicate when the pumping opportunity started and when it will cease.

The date and time to the right is the timestamp of when this data was placed into the dashboard.

This component does not apply to groundwater entitlements.


Year to date consumption

This component represents the total volume of water you have pumped for the water year, based on the last meter reading you submitted.

The red line represents your total annual volumetric limit (AVL) for the water year.

You will receive a notification to your registered email address or as an SMS to your phone if you exceed your Annual Volumetric Limit (AVL) for your entitlement.

Rate of take (ROT) for the event (ML/day)

This component displays the maximum volume of water you are authorised to take in a day with the following details:

• Maximum Rate of Take (ML/day)

• Reduced Rate of Take Limited (%)

• Limited Rate of Take (ML/day)

This component does not apply to groundwater entitlements.


Current annual volumetric limit (AVL)

This component is the maximum volume of water you are authorised to take in a water year.

This volume is calculated from factors which include:

• Nominal Annual Volumetric Limit

• Announced Annual Volumetric Limit (%)

• Reductions associated with the volume traded as Seasonal Water Assignment

• Adjustments associated with a multi-year accounting condition (if applicable)

Gauging station flow hydrometric graph

This hydrometric graph shows recent passing flow rate of the watercourse, measured from a relevant upstream gauging station. An alert will display that pumping should stop if flows fall below the passing flow trigger, which when applicable with be shown by a dotted red line.

You will receive a notification alert to your registered email address or as an SMS to your phone if flows fall below the passing flow trigger for your entitlement.


Reference bore height hydrometric graph

This hydrometric graph shows recent water levels of a relevant trigger bore. An alert will display that pumping should stop if groundwater levels in the trigger bore are nearing the trigger level which when applicable will be shown by a dotted red line.

Water use history

This graph shows the volume of water you have pumped, averaged per month between meter readings.

The more readings you submit the more accurate this information will be.

If you use a single meter to record water use against multiple entitlements, this water use cannot currently be displayed.


Notifications The dashboard will notify you of the following alerts. These will be sent to your registered email address or as an SMS to your phone.

Pumping opportunity alert

Surface water Pumping opportunity alert – on

A change to your Pumping Opportunity has occurred.

The current value is Pumping Opportunity is ON, expires DATE, the maximum daily rate of take is ML AMOUNT.

Pumping opportunity alert – off

A change to your Pumping Opportunity has occurred.

The current value is Pumping Opportunity is OFF, expires DATE, the maximum daily rate of take is 0 ML.

Groundwater Pumping opportunity alert – off

You are required to stop pumping of your entitlement as groundwater levels in the trigger bore have fallen below the trigger level.

Current Value is “OFF” [Pumping is not permitted]

Pumping opportunity alert – on

You may resume pumping of your entitlement as groundwater levels in the trigger bore are now above the trigger level. You may commence pumping.

Current Value is “ON”

Year to date consumption alert You have exceeded your Annual Volumetric Limit for your entitlement.

Current Value is “VALUE AMOUNT WILL BE STATED” [EXCEEDED AVL]


Passing flow trigger Passing flow trigger – on

Flows at your reference gauging station are now above the passing flow trigger for your entitlement. You may now commence pumping.


Passing flow trigger – off

Flows at your reference gauging station have fallen below the passing flow trigger for your entitlement. You are now required to stop pumping.

Current Value is “OFF”

Bore level trigger Bore level trigger – off

You are required to stop pumping of your entitlement as groundwater levels in the trigger bore have fallen below the trigger level.

Current Value is “OFF”

Bore level trigger – on You may resume pumping of your entitlement as groundwater levels in the trigger bore are now above the trigger level.



Notification example The notifications you receive will look like the screen below.

When you click the blue login button it will take you to a table view of the parameter page. You can then click on ‘Dash’ to view the alert on the dashboard.

Further resources Definitions Client ID This is your unique identifier in the Water Dashboard.

Entitlement ID This is the unique identifier assigned to your water entitlement.

Current Annual Volumetric Limit (AVL) The current volume of water you may take in a water year.

Nominal Annual Volumetric Limit This is the volume specified on your licence before any volume increases or reductions are applied.

Announced Annual Volumetric Limit percentage A percentage applied to your nominal annual volumetric limit to account for current stream flow or groundwater conditions.

Seasonal Water Assignment (Debit) A temporary trade of water where the rights to access future flows are assigned to another party for the remainder of the water year.

Multi-year adjustment Volumetric adjustments related to a multi-year accounting condition on an entitlement, if applicable.

Year to date consumption The volume of water you have used for the current water year, based on your last meter reading.

Rate of Take for the event (ROT) The maximum volume of water you are currently allowed to pump in a period.

Maximum ROT (ML/day) The volume of water your entitlement permits you to pump on a daily basis before any increases or reductions are applied.

Reduced ROT Limited percentage A percentage applied to your nominal daily volumetric limit to account for current stream flow conditions. The factor will be the same as any current Announced Annual Volumetric Limit %.

Limited ROT (ML/Day) Limited Rate of Take is used to notify irrigators of their limit of take in order to deliver water throughout the system.

Hydrometric This refers to water level, water quality and stream flow data measured at a particular time and location.
