Elements and Performance Criteria

1. Schedule water deliveries.
   • Identify and record customer water orders.
   • Analyse water orders to determine water delivery and flow rate requirements.
   • Schedule water deliveries to meet flow rate requirements and organisational standards for channel balance and capacity restraints.
2. Monitor water delivery.
   • Monitor channel flow rate, regulation and delivery according to customer requirements.
   • Maintain delivery performance records according to organisational requirements.
   • Analyse system performance using system data and records to determine actual and planned performance.
3. Coordinate and control water delivery.
   • Calculate system adjustments according to demand and organisational requirements.
   • Coordinate flow regulation, channel levels, security of flow devices and settings according to demand and organisational requirements.
4. Compile reports and records of water delivery.
   • Compile reports from system performance data according to organisational requirements.
   • Maintain appropriate measurements and delivery records according to organisational requirements.

Evidence Required

The evidence guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the Performance Criteria Required Skills and Knowledge the Range Statement and the Assessment Guidelines for the Training Package
Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit	The candidate should demonstrate the ability to schedule water deliveries for irrigation andor domestic and stock supply systems including analysing volumes and flow rates required for water deliveries preparing schedules for water deliveries from customer orders monitoring and regulating system performance adjusting system according to demand coordinating flow regulating devices completing relevant documentation
Context of and specific resources for assessment	Access to the workplace and resources including documentation that should normally be available in a water industry organisation relevant codes standards and government regulations Where applicable physical resources should include equipment modified for people with disabilities Access must be provided to appropriate learning andor assessment support when required Assessment processes and techniques must be culturally appropriate and appropriate to the language and literacy capacity of the candidate and the work being performed Validity and sufficiency of evidence requires that competency will need to be demonstrated over a period of time reflecting the scope of the role and the practical requirements of the workplace where the assessment is part of a structured learning experience the evidence collected must relate to a number of performances assessed at different points in time and separated by further learning and practice a decision of competence only taken at the point when the assessor has complete confidence in the persons competence over time and in various contexts all assessment that is part of a structured learning experience must include a combination of direct indirect and supplementary evidence where assessment is for the purpose of recognition RCCRPL the evidence provided will need to be authenticated and show that it represents competency demonstrated over a period of time assessment can be through simulated projectbased activity and must include evidence relating to each of the elements in this unit In all cases where practical assessment is used it will be combined with targeted questioning to assess the underpinning knowledge Questioning will be undertaken in a manner appropriate to the skill levels of the operator any cultural issues that may affect responses to the questions and reflecting the requirements of the competency and the work being performed

Range Statement

The range statement relates to the unit of competency as a whole. It allows for different work environments and situations that may affect performance. Bold italicised wording, if used in the Performance Criteria, is detailed below. Add any essential operating conditions that may be present with training and assessment depending on the work situation, needs if the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts.
Schedule water deliveries may include:	interaction and communication with: team members other authorities the general public implementation of reporting procedures that may also include: procedures for the implementation of by-laws organisational policies standard operating procedures statutory requirements.
