Description
This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to implement and coordinate a surface water plan.It includes ensuring environmental and sustainability considerations are met, where appropriate source of supply is maintained and controls for surface water management including catchment land use, flow controls and retardation, release flows and managed usage are implemented and effectiveness monitored.This unit applies to those working as leaders with responsibility for the management of surface water resources. Those undertaking this unit would work autonomously, leading staff, while performing sophisticated tasks in a range of familiar contexts.No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to unit at the time of publication.
