This unit of competency describes the skills and knowledge required to measure, record and report on soil moisture, salinity and water table depth to determine system performance and efficiency.

It applies to individuals who take responsibility for own work and for the quality of the work of others. They use discretion and judgement in the selection, allocation and use of available resources. All work is carried out to comply with workplace procedures.

No occupational licensing, legislative or certification requirements are known to apply to this unit at the time of publication.

You may want to include more information here about the target group and the purpose of the assessments (eg formative, summative, recognition)

List the assessment methods to be used and the context and resources required for assessment. Copy and paste the relevant sections from the evidence guide below and then re-write these in plain English.

Element	Performance criteria
Elements describe the essential outcomes.	Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element.
1. Prepare for work	1.1 Confirm the location of the drainage system 1.2 Select materials, tools, equipment and machinery 1.3 Carry out pre-operational and safety checks on tools, equipment and machinery 1.4 Identify work health and safety hazards, assess risks and implement controls 1.5 Select, use and maintain suitable personal protective equipment
2. Assess drainage and collection systems	2.1 Determine damaged or broken components 2.2 Inspect areas for signs of water pooling and problems 2.3 Take measurements to determine drainage performance 2.4 Identify and record factors external to the system which may cause interference
3. Record and report system performance status	3.1 Record water quality and quantity 3.2 Record water table depth, soil moisture and salinity 3.3 Document strategies that minimise the negative environmental impacts and maximise the positive impacts of the drainage system

The candidate must be assessed on their ability to integrate and apply the performance requirements of this unit in a workplace setting. Performance must be demonstrated consistently over time and in a suitable range of contexts.

The candidate must provide evidence that they can:

identify adverse environmental impacts of drainage systems

identify and apply appropriate remedial action

identify and correct system problems

identify hazards and implement safe work procedures

use technology to record and report drainage system data

The candidate must demonstrate knowledge of:

how to measure a water table and salinity

measuring and monitoring procedures for factors contributing to drainage system performance

positive and negative environmental impacts of drainage systems

soil moisture measurement procedures

the environmental role of drainage systems

water quality monitoring methods and techniques

Assessors must satisfy current standards for RTOs.

List each assessment task's title, type (eg project, observation/demonstration, essay, assingnment, checklist) and due date here

(add new lines for each of the 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.

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.
