Water management and security is critical in alpine resorts, which have limited access to water resources but require significant volumes to service the potable and snowmaking requirements that occur during the snow season. ARV is in the process of creating integrated water management plans for each resort to manage current and future water operations across the resorts and anticipates awarding the contract for this work by mid-May.
With climate change impacting alpine water resources, it’s important we use accurate information about the current situation so that we can plan for the future.
The Integrated Water Management Plans will provide a water resource inventory and assessment, water conservation and efficiency options, and stormwater modelling.
The plans will also include implementation action plans that provides direction on infrastructure development and asset management, traditional owner engagement, environmental impact, emergency preparedness, and monitoring, reporting and continuous improvement.
