To improve the supply of water to landowners, we replaced dethridge wheels and manually operated regulators with modernised infrastructure.
Most of these can be controlled and operated by GMW at our Tatura office.
We installed electronic flow meters to provide us with accurately measuring flow rate and volume.
These replaced old meters, providing us with greater accuracy. They are also compliant with national standards.
To provide us with better measurement and management of water flows, we modernised the formerly manually-operated regulating structures in the channel.
Regulators control the flow and level of water in the channel system and meters control the flow of water onto farmland.
We modernised the regulators and most of the modernised meters are linked into the Total Channel Control system, where they can be operated and monitored from our GMW office in Tatura.
Parts of the existing open channel system were replaced with pipelines.
These pipelines can be either gravity or pressurised or both. Pipelines are often considered highly efficient and able to provide a high level of service.
