	Bradfield Scheme no solution to drought
		A large part of Dr Bradfield’s scheme relied on gravity to move the water from one catchment to another.
		The reality is that the Bradfield scheme cannot stand up to scientific or economic scrutiny as shown by reviews in 1947 and in the early 1980s.
		Bradfield did not take into account the cost of pumping and was unaware that a large amount of the water diverted would be lost through evaporation.

		Schemes appear to have developed a positive profile within the communities they serve, and scheme staff are generally well regarded as professional and hard working.
		Where schemes are not achieving a reasonable degree of match between their client profile and the local demographic profile of the WDVCAP target groups, they be provided with guidance and appropriate resourcing to bring them within the Program guidelines.
		Schemes should be notified well in advance by court staff of when hearings are scheduled so that they can ensure that staff can attend these sessions.

	Bradfield Hall Nature Reserve, Norfolk
		Bradfield Hall Farm and Nature Reserve is a 205 ha (500 acre) farm in north-east Norfolk which is managed and developed for wildlife, and in particular farmland birds, encouraging wintering flocks of finches and buntings and providing breeding habitats for scarce farmland birds such as Grey Partridge and Grey Partridge.
		A season ticket scheme is also in place at a cost of £25.00 for twelve months and this allows free parking, a 5% reduction on wild bird food and a quarterly journal.
		Bradfield Hall Farm and Nature Reserve is 2.5 miles north west of North Walsham and just north of the village of Bradfield.

	The Bradfield Scheme - The Greatest Scheme of All
		But Dr. Bradfield is possibly better known for something that he did not build, his magnificent plan for the watering of the inland Australia which he presented to the Queensland government in 1938, following a lifelong interest in irrigation and water conservation.
		Bradfield’s plan involved diverting the waters of the upper reaches of the Johnson, Tully, Herbert, Burdekin and Flinders Rivers one into the other, then into the Thompson, thence into Lake Eyre, refilling it and, with evaporation, creating a climate change and rainfall throughout inland Australia.
		In evidence on the Bradfield Scheme to the Commonwealth Rural Reconstruction Commission, an engineer - H. Moss, A.M.I.E. (Aust.) - told the commission that some parts of the scheme were feasible, that many of Bradfield’s claims could not be justified, and that no firm opinion could be expressed on other points without further technical investigation.

	NR&M proves Bradfield Scheme ineffective
		A large part of Dr Bradfield’s scheme relied on gravity to move the water from one catchment tom another. The design of these gravity diversions was based on height information obtained from a barometer that he carried on horseback, and extremely sparse stream flow data available at the time.
		Bradfield did not take into account the cost of pumping and was unaware that the majority of water diverted would be lost in evaporation.
		Nowadays, it is regarded to be poor environmental practice to transfer water from one catchment to another. Allowing aquatic plant and animal species to move from their native catchments runs the risk of upsetting delicate ecological balances in these waterways, which naturally depend on periods of wet and dry.

	Federation and Meteorology, Climate for a Nation, page 3
		Bradfield, the designer of the Sydney Harbour Bridge, advocated a massive system of dams and tunnels to turn water from north Queensland rivers inland, ultimately to fill Lake Eyre.
		Bradfield based his climatic theories on the work of E. Quayle, one of the Bureau's pioneer researchers and Griffith Taylor's former room-mate.
		Bradfield's dream may have seemed too ambitious, but another large-scale water diversion project became the symbol of Australia's postwar development.

		While there are exotic schemes for providing South Australian’s with water in the future which include the towing of icebergs and the inland diversion of water from the far north of the nation, these schemes are not required in the foreseeable future.
		The current extent of reuse is a tribute to the resourcefulness of the people involved and demonstrates the increasing acceptance by the community, all levels of government and the private sector of the potential value of treated effluent and urban runoff as a valuable water source.
		The Bradfield scheme, if it were to include delivery of water to the settled parts of South Australia, has a price tag of about $4.5 billion.

		Such schemes have always foundered on the ugly physical fact that water is heavy.
		The second and third of these schemes were built in the late seventies/early eighties, and sat largely unused until quite recently.

		The Murrumbidgee Irrigation Scheme was the brain child of Hugh McKinney who recognised the potential of the NSW Riverina in 1875.
		The driving force was Dr JJC Bradfield, PWD Chief Engineer for the Harbour Bridge and City Railway from 1912 until completion in 1932.
		Bradfield planned the project, decided on the arch design, wrote the specifications, and supervised the construction.

		But there it is today, an $800,000,000 scheme completed on time and on budget, having generated trillions of kilowatt hours of energy, meeting an important part of the peak electricity demand in New South Wales and Victoria, and having delivered millions of mega-litres of irrigation water to the Murray and Murrumbidgee Valleys.
		Throughout the life of the Scheme there was always a strong element of faith in the future.
		It would be helpful if we had another major project which could capture the imagination of the public as the Snowy Scheme did fifty years ago but at least we must recapture the spirit of the Snowy and the strong belief in the Nation which it engendered.

	The Fast Lifting Wavelet Transform
		Adapting the lifting scheme we will be well armed: amongst our weaponry are such elements as[7] easy invertibility of any transform, in-place calculation of the transform and easy integer transform coefficients without losing any of its features.
		The lifting scheme on the other hand is a really general scheme, which makes it very suitable for experimenting while the in-place and integer properties make it extremely useful for embedded systems where memory is still expensive.
		One of the advantages of the lifting scheme as pointed out in for instance [Dau97] and [Cal96] is that the lifting scheme allows for an introduction into wavelet theory without the use of Fourier theory.

	Australian drought sparks debate over the direction of water usage
		Among ideas floated in recent days is the revival of a scheme dreamed up in the 1930s by the designer of Sydney Harbor Bridge, John Bradfield, to redirect rivers that flow into the sea off Australia's northeast coast and harness their waters to irrigate crops.
		One of their main ideas is breathing new life into the Bradfield plan to redirect rivers -- although they haven't elaborated on how it would be done or what it would cost.
		However, the government embarked in August on a long-term project to rejuvenate the Snowy after admitting that the ambitious scheme, often lauded as Australia's greatest feat of civil engineering, had almost destroyed the river.

	DVlink NSW: The Domestic Violence Solicitor Scheme Pilot (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		The 1998 Bradfield Nyland Evaluation Report of the Women’s Domestic Violence Court Assistance Program (WDVCAP) identified the lack of appropriate legal representation for women using Women’s Domestic Violence Court Assistance Schemes (WDVCASs) as a key issue that needed to be addressed by the Legal Aid Commission of NSW.
		As a result, in June 2000 approval was given to make the Pilot scheme permanent at Wollongong, Waverley, Sutherland, Penrith and Bankstown, with a view to extend the scheme to a further five WDVCAS’s.
		An expansion of the DVSS was implemented in 2002 the schemes chosen to participate were: Campbelltown, Liverpool, Blacktown, Burwood and Central Coast.

	BBC - Weather Centre - Weather News - Australia - ideas flow freely, but water is short
		John Bradfield is best known as the designer of Sydney Harbour's famous bridge, but the 'Farmhand' group are suggesting that another of his grand plans could be revived, redirecting rivers that flow across the northeast of the country to irrigate farm crops in drought-stricken regions further south.
		Water experts and conservationists have been quick to react, saying that Australians need to learn to live with the climate and the landscape, not try to fight against it.
		A similar scheme, implemented on the Snowy River in the 1950s, was once trumpeted as Australia's greatest feat of civil engineering, but a move began this August to rejuvenate the river after the government admitted that the Snowy had almost been destroyed by taking its water for hydroelectric and irrigation purposes.
