Scientific advice
The Australian Government and state government regulators refer coal seam gas and large coal mining proposals to the Independent Expert Scientific Committee on Coal Seam Gas and Large Coal Mining Development for expert scientific advice on the potential water-related impacts of these developments.
In giving our scientific advice we consider all the potential impacts of the proposed development to water resources. This includes groundwater, surface water, water quantity and quality, ecosystems and ecological processes that affect the water resource and water-dependent assets.
Our advice enables the regulators to make their decisions based on the best available science.
We publish all the scientific advice we provide to regulators. You can use the search tool on this page to find any of this advice.
