The Victorian Environmental Water Holder (VEWH) works with catchment management authorities and Melbourne Water to ensure environmental water entitlements are used to achieve the best environmental outcomes with water that is available.

Bite was commissioned to produce the 308-page 2020-21 Seasonal Watering Plan. The Plan provided a guide to how the VEWH and program partners planned to use the water available to achieve the best possible environmental watering outcomes in a range of climate scenarios. It represented a consolidation of proposed watering actions developed from a bank of local knowledge from regions and scientific monitoring programs.

Because the Plan contains so much information, there was a tight timeline to complete the project with clearly defined milestones established. Bite met every milestone and the client was delighted with the result. Bite was subsequently awarded the 2021-22 Plan.
