3.2.3 Hydrological analysis

BAs focus on potential hydrological changes due to additional coal resource development, which for this subregion are The Range in the north of the subregion and New Acland Coal Mine Stage 3 in the east. The impact and risk analysis used potential hydrological changes due to additional coal resource development to assess possible impacts on ecosystems and water-dependent assets. (Note that surface water numerical modelling was not undertaken in the Maranoa-Balonne-Condamine subregion).
