Description:
This report represents the second part of a two part project investigating the management of irrigation storages. The first report: Management of irrigation water storages: carryover rights and capacity sharing (Hughes and Goesch 2009) focused on the economics of storage management and the potential advantages of capacity sharing. This report examines in detail two capacity sharing schemes implemented in Queensland - St George and MacIntyre Brook. The report contains a large volume of information relating to the implementation of capacity sharing in St George and MacIntyre Brook. It is hoped the report will become a useful reference for water managers who have an interest in reforming water allocation/storage management policies. While the theoretical advantages of storage rights/capacity sharing are relatively well established, there has until recently remained scepticism over the feasibility of this approach in practice. The experience of St George, and to a lesser extent MacIntyre Brook, has demonstrated that capacity sharing is feasible and practical. While there are challenges to face in refining the approach and in introducing it into other systems, capacity sharing shows significant potential
