Burdekin Water Futures (BWF)

BWF Home | Membership | Priority needs | Activities | Communication | Links

The Burdekin Water Futures (BWF) group was established in 2006 to facilitate a more strategic approach to water management in the Burdekin. The role of managing the district’s water resources is performed by several different bodies, operating at various levels. BWF brings these different bodies together so that there is greater coordination between them, and better alignment of their efforts.

The BWF is increasingly driving more of the research and related activities being carried out in the lower Burdekin (see list of some current research activities below), and is currently supporting development of a groundwater science plan for the whole of the lower Burdekin. Development of this groundwater science plan is being led by SKM with funding support from the Burdekin Dry Tropics NRM.

Mission

The BWF mission is to support a long-term, strategic, whole-of-system approach to understanding and managing the lower Burdekin water resources and associated systems, and thereby deliver long-term economic, social and environmental outcomes that ensure the region’s sustainability.
