Scientists call for more transparency in proposed Murray-Darling Basic Plan
13 April, 2012 | Supplied by: Westwick-Farrow Pty LtdThe volume of water needed to secure the long-term sustainability of the Murray-Darling river system cannot be identified clearly due to a lack of transparency in the proposed Murray-Darling Basin Plan, more than 60 Australian scientists say in a special joint statement.
Flow meter installed with minimum disruption
13 April, 2012 | Supplied by: KCES Pty LtdWhen a pump station in northern Sydney required the installation of a flow meter to an existing pipeline, the downtime had to be kept to a minimum to avoid disruption of the water supply. The new section with the flow meter was put in place and connected to the remaining main line with two Straub Flex 2H 1296.0 mm pipe couplings. Because the Straub pipe couplings have a very short installation time, disruption to the water supply was kept to a minimum.
