1.3.1 Methods

Summary

The water-dependent asset register is a list of water-dependent assets identified for the bioregional assessment (BA) of the Maranoa-Balonne-Condamine subregion. This section details the specific application to the Maranoa-Balonne-Condamine subregion of methods described in the companion submethodology M02 (as listed in Table 1) for compiling water-dependent assets (Mount et al., 2015), outlining how the register was compiled. Key concepts and terminology are also explained.

The methods covered include: the process of collecting different groups of assets and determining their water dependency, the development and compilation of the water-dependent asset register, and the determination of the preliminary assessment extent (PAE) of the Maranoa-Balonne-Condamine subregion.
