URPS led the development of a water resources situational analysis (WRSA) for the Olympic Dam ‘catchment’ for BHP. This included engaging the Goyder Institute to undertake a research report that collated published information on groundwater and surface water resources. URPS then used this research to prepare a concise summary for a public audience that identified water resource management challenges and opportunities.
URPS led engagement on this draft report with stakeholders including local and state government, conservation groups and SA Tourism.
