• Supporting the Wamuran Irrigation Scheme with Reliable Mixing – Moodlu Quarry

    Smart Water Reuse Starts with Water Quality

    The Wamuran Irrigation Scheme, delivered by Unitywater, is one of South East Queensland’s leading circular water initiatives.  By supporting Class A recycled water to nearby farms, the scheme supports long-term irrigation for high-value crops like pineapples, berries, turf, and avocadoes – while protecting local waterways. 

    As part of this scheme, Unitywater selected the disused Moodlu Quarry mine to serve as a balancing storage reservoir.  With water depths exceeding 40 metres, maintaining stable water quality presented a technical challenge, especially in terms of dissolved oxygen levels and stratification. 

    To address this, WEARS Australia was engaged to design, supply and commission a ResMix 3000 floating mixing system. 

  • Mannus Lake – Blue Green Algae Control to protect downstream fish habitats

    Mannus Lake is a recreational lake located 4km west of Tumbarumba and is a popular location for recreational fishing.  There is significant nutrient rich runoff into the dam and catchment.  This nutrient rich water combined with the still/slow-flowing water makes Mannus Lake a Blue Green Algae breading ground. 

    The Lake is often closed to recreational users due to high Blue Green Algae levels.  However downstream impacts of this Toxic Blue Green Algae is impacting endangered Macquarie Perch habitats and populations. 

    This project is a joint co-operation between NSW Department of Primary Industries and the Snowy Valleys Council. WEARS were engaged because of our long and successful history with Blue Green Algae mitigation through top to bottom exchange mixing and disrupting the algae reproduction cycle. This is achieved by improving the overall water quality of the Lake and by mixing the highly oxygen rich surface water with the anoxic water at the bottom of the lake. 

    WEARS installed a ResMix 3000 system which will continue to improve the water in the Mannus Lake, reducing the severity and algal blooms.
