Measure drainage system performance

Assessment tool

Version 1.0
Issue Date: April 2024


This unit is likely to be carried out under routine supervision within enterprise guidelines.

This unit covers the process of measuring the performance and efficiency of a drainage system and defines the standard required to: identify and correcting system problems; measure, record and report soil moisture, salinity and water table depth to determine system performance and efficiency; apply measuring and testing techniques; record and report system performance; use computers for recording and reporting drainage system data.

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

Employability Skills

This unit contains employability skills.



Evidence Required

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.

The evidence guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the performance criteria, required skills and knowledge, range statement and the Assessment Guidelines for the Training Package.

Overview of assessment

Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit

The evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit must be relevant to workplace operations and satisfy holistically all of the requirements of the performance criteria and required skills and knowledge and include achievement of the following:

identify and correcting system problems

measure, record and report soil moisture, salinity and water table depth to determine system performance and efficiency

apply measuring and testing techniques

record and report system performance

use computers for recording and reporting drainage system data.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Competency requires the application of work practices under work conditions. Selection and use of resources for some worksites may differ due to the regional or enterprise circumstances.

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.

Required skills

use literacy skills to read, interpret and follow organisational policies and procedures, follow sequenced written instructions, record accurately and legible information collected and select and apply procedures for a range of tasks

use oral communication skills/language competence to fulfil the job role as specified by the organisation, including questioning techniques, active listening, clarifying information and consulting with supervisors as required

use numeracy skills to estimate, calculate and record routine workplace measures

use interpersonal skills to work with and relate to people from a range of cultural, social and religious backgrounds and with a range of physical and mental abilities.

Required knowledge

OHS guidelines

measuring and monitoring procedures for factors contributing to drainage system performance

positive and negative environmental impacts of drainage systems

water table and salinity measures

water quality monitoring methods and techniques

soil moisture measurement procedures

water authority standards and procedures

enterprise policies and procedures

environmental role of drainage systems.

The range statement relates to the unit of competency as a whole.

Drainage systems may include:

surface drains

culverts

mole drains

sand slit

sub-surface traps

pit and trap systems

dune and swale systems

reed beds

water-recycling pumps and baffles.

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.

Observation Checklist

Tasks to be observed according to workplace/college/TAFE policy and procedures, relevant legislation and Codes of Practice Yes No Comments/feedback
A visual inspection is undertaken to determine damaged or broken components and results are recorded in accordance with Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) and enterprise policy and procedures. 
Areas being drained are inspected for signs of water pooling and problems are recorded in accordance with OHS and enterprise policy and procedures. 
Measurements are taken with appropriate equipment to determine drainage performance. 
Drainage/tail water quality is measured in accordance with OHS and enterprise policy and procedures. 
Water table depth is measured where required in accordance with OHS and enterprise policy and procedures. 
Soil salinity is measured where required in accordance with OHS and enterprise policy and procedures. 
Factors external to the system, which may cause interference, are identified and recorded in accordance with OHS and enterprise policy and procedures. 
Supply and part usage are recorded in accordance with enterprise policy and procedures. 
Purchases of spare parts and materials are within budget constraints. 
Parts requirements outside of budget constraints are reported. 
Purchases and orders are recorded in accordance with enterprise procedures and systems. 
Water quality is recorded in accordance with enterprise procedures. 
Water table depth, soil moisture and salinity are recorded in accordance with enterprise procedures. 
Strategies that minimise the negative environmental impacts and maximise the positive impacts of the drainage system, are documented.
