Best Practice Guidelines for Channel Seepage Identification and Measurement

A six-step process is used to identify and measure channel seepage. Key techniques for seepage measurement are documented to enable water authorities to select and apply methods appropriate to their channel system.

Download the Best Practice Guidelines for Channel Seepage Identification and Measurement: Identify_Measure_Jan2003.pdf (2.2Mb)

For more information see Identification and measurement.

Guidelines for Channel Seepage Remediation

Guidelines outline a practical approach to investigate and select channel seepage remediation techniques. A detailed description of a range of seepage remediation techniques is also provided.

Download the Guidelines for Channel Seepage Remediation Remediation_Feb2004.pdf (5.2Mb)

For more information see Remediation.

Pondage Test Analysis Tool

A spreadsheet enables users to analyse the results from pondage tests to determine channel seepage rates. An example calculation and a blank template are provided.

Download the Pondage Test Analysis Example: Pondage_example_Sep2003.xls (956Kb)

Download the Pondage Test Analysis Blank: Pondage_blank_Sep2003.xls (953Kb)

For more information see Pondage tests.

Channel Seepage Decision Support Tool

The Channel Seepage Decision Support Tool helps users to calculate the costs of channel seepage remediation and undertake a cost-benefit analysis of alternative techniques to understand the economic consequences of each. A cost-benefit analysis may not be sufficient to select the best technique for a particular site or to assess the priority for several sites where remediation is proposed. Multi-criteria analysis assists with the prioritisation of techniques and sites according to additional non-economic criteria.
