Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to process and report hydrographic time series data.It includes compiling, interpreting, analysing and verifying data including water level (streams, lakes), rainfall, groundwater, soil moisture, evaporation, radiation, wind, temperature and electro conductivity. It also includes producing hydrometric data reports to support organisational decision making, complying with relevant environmental legislation, regulations and workplace policies. Organisational policies and procedures must be consulted and adhered to, particularly those relating to Work Health and Safety (WHS), Bureau of Meteorology, World Meteorological Organisation and Australian Standards.This unit applies to water operators involved in the monitoring of the elements of the water cycle and their impact on the related environment. Those undertaking this unit would work autonomously, leading staff, while performing complex tasks in a broad range of contexts that could be unpredictable, including remote, confined spaces, working on or near water and working at heights.No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to unit at the time of publication.
Duration and Setting X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting.

Assessment Tasks

Copy and paste from the following data to produce each assessment task. Write these in plain English and spell out how, when and where the task is to be carried out, under what conditions, and what resources are needed. Include guidelines about how well the candidate has to perform a task for it to be judged satisfactory.

Range is restricted to essential operating conditions and any other variables essential to the work environment.

Copy and paste from the following performance criteria to create an observation checklist for each task. When you have finished writing your assessment tool every one of these must have been addressed, preferably several times in a variety of contexts. To ensure this occurs download the assessment matrix for the unit; enter each assessment task as a column header and place check marks against each performance criteria that task addresses.
