For example, it may be possible to build a nuclear plant in South Australia, supplying 1,000 megawatts an hour of electricity and 75 gigalitres a year of water, at a cost in the order of 2.5 to 3 billion dollars. ❋ Unknown (2006)
He said more than 350,000 gigalitres of water a year was being extracted by CSG operators in Queensland. ❋ Unknown (2011)
The groups "completely reject" the MDBA's proposal to return 2800 gigalitres of water to the environment, they said after the meeting in inner Sydney Redfern. ❋ Unknown (2011)
Environmentalists say at least 4000 gigalitres is required to achieve a sustainable diversion limit in the Basin Plan. ❋ Unknown (2011)
At its peak, government estimates of water production from all coal-seam gas wells range from 150 gigalitres GL to 300 GL a year, equivalent of up to 120,000 Olympic-size swimming pools. ❋ Unknown (2011)
'Radical' approach changes basin plan NEW scientific modelling conducted by the Murray-Darling Basin Authority has determined that less than 3000 gigalitres of water is needed to be returned to the environment to ensure the survival of the river system. ❋ Unknown (2011)
Environmentalists reject Murray proposal ENVIRONMENT groups have formally rejected the Murray-Darling Basin Authority's MDBA proposal to return 2800 gigalitres of water to the environment. ❋ Unknown (2011)
The original draft guide to the plan, which proposed restoring up to 4000 gigalitres to the Murray-Darling, was released 12 months ago and them immediately withdrawn, after a backlash from irrigators fearful of losing water allocations. ❋ Unknown (2011)
"The ecological outcomes of 2800 gigalitres are frightening: the entire South Australian floodplain has been written off and there is a very low chance that the red gums of the Goulburn, Murray and Murrumbidgee would survive," said Jonathan La Nauze from Friends of the Earth said. ❋ Unknown (2011)
The report identified 600 gigalitres (600 billion litres) of groundwater that could be sustainably used for irrigating 20,000-40,000ha. ❋ Unknown (2010)
If the plant operates at full capacity producing 150 gigalitres a year - about 40 per cent of Melbourne's 3A restricted use or about 30 per cent without restrictions - the cost of the water will be $280 million a year. ❋ Unknown (2010)
Dr Hughes came across the error after he had visited an enormous siphon in South Australia, which transfers millions of gigalitres from a river system into a depleted lake. ❋ Unknown (2010)
Quantifying the water is an inexact science but the NSW Commissioner for Water, David Harriss, said as much as 6000 gigalitres, or 12 Sydney Harbours, might cross the state border. ❋ Unknown (2010)
The lakes, which were almost dry at Christmas, will be full for the first time in a decade, holding more than 2000 gigalitres of water - worth about $700 million if it could be sold on the open market. ❋ Unknown (2010)
Smith, said the same amount of water would become available for the Lower Lakes and Coorong downstream after 50 gigalitres was used to fill the river above lock zero. ❋ Unknown (2010)
The taskforce agreed that the development of groundwater resources provided the best prospect for new consumptive use - a resource estimated at 600 gigalitres. ❋ Unknown (2010)
SA is expected to get a minimum of 500 gigalitres from the floods, with the first flows to cross the border within weeks. ❋ Unknown (2010)
The first 257 gigalitres allocated to South Australia from Queensland's floods is on its way. ❋ Unknown (2010)
