This project aims to develop state-of-the-art conceptual and numerical models of river-soil-groundwater interactions to address complex and persistent questions on water sustainability in the Lower Burdekin Delta, Queensland, where groundwater pumping to irrigate sugarcane has been supplemented by artificial recharge for over 50 years. This project expects to deliver new knowledge of critical aquifer processes to inform the scheme operation, the largest in the country. Expected outcomes include ground-breaking management plans for the aquifer-replenishment scheme. Anticipated benefits involve balancing the needs of agriculture and the protection of pristine environments, including groundwater discharge to the Great Barrier Reef.

该项目旨在开发河流-土壤-地下水相互作用的最先进的概念和数值模型，以解决昆士兰州下伯德金三角洲水可持续性的复杂和持续性问题，在那里，抽取地下水灌溉甘蔗已经由人工补给补充了50多年。该项目预计将提供有关关键含水层过程的新知识，为该国最大的计划运作提供信息。预期成果包括开创性的含水层补给计划管理计划。预期的好处包括平衡农业需求和保护原始环境，包括向大堡礁排放地下水。
