Through time, human civilizations have repeatedly made the same critical error the excessive exploitation of forest resources or the failure to practice forestry on a sustainable basis. The earliest recorded cases of excessive deforestation occurred approximately 5,000 B.P. in the very cradle of western civilization, Mesopotamia 19), Since that period, abusive levels of forest exploitation have severely degraded or caused the complete disappearance of forests in regions of Europe, Africa, Asia, Australia and the Americas. Truly, the negative consequences of excessive levels of deforestation is a lesson that has been learned by few civilizations. 

The ability to predict runoff and water availability is critical to water resources planners. However, the complex non-linearities of the hydrologic cycle make this an extremely difficult process. Even where precipitation is fairly well known, runoff prediction is a non-trivial problem, as land surface response depends as much (or more) on precipitation patterns and timing as on precipitation amount. The historical record of monthly rainfall and inflow at the Serpentine Dam, near Perth, Western Australia, provides an illustration of this sensitivity (Fig. 6-11a and b).

This means that Australia, Malaysia and Venezuela have to invest significant human and financial resources in inspections of the supply channels in their respective countries in order to ensure compliance with the requirements of good distribution practice (GDP) and the provisions of the pharmaceutical laws. Arranging human resources and schedules for inspection is even more arduous when the distribution outlets are widely dispersed through the rural areas. 

Human resources management systems for inspection differ among countries. In Australia, the same group of personnel is responsible both for licensing of manufacturers and for GMP inspection. In Cypms, Tunisia, Venezuela and Zimbabwe, GMP inspectors also carry out other dmg regulatory functions. One of the results of such an arrangement is that the different functions must compete for the employees time. Cuba, Estonia and Tunisia employ both full-lime and part-time inspectors for both functions. Other countries have full-time employees only. 

An attempt is made in Figure 7.3 to give a crude picture of the human resources required in the various countries. For Australia, however, estimating the workload is not possible, owing to a lack of data about the number of distribution-channel inspectors.

The geographical distribution of Australia s coal resources is shown in Fig. 1. New South Wales and Queensland possess large reserves of black coals in the Sydney and Bowen Basins, respectively, adjacent to the eastern seaboard. Significant deposits of bituminous coals are also known to occur in remote areas in South Australia at Lake Phillipson in the Arckaringa Basin and at currently inaccessible depth (200-300 m) in the Cooper Basin (3,4).

BHP Minerals International Inc. is a subsidiary of Australia-based BHP Billiton Limited, which in turn is the result of a merger between two complementary companies BHP and Billiton. BHP is a global natural resources company, with a wide spread of products including minerals, oil, gas and steel and is one of Australia s oldest and largest companies. Billiton, on the other hand is one of the world s leading mining companies.

A national-scale geochemical survey of Australia is under way. It applies ultra low sampling density to transported and well-mixed outlet sediments, which are expected to represent the average composition of large catchments. The NGSA will provide the first complete, internally consistent geochemical data layer for Australia and is expected to find applications in energy and mineral resources exploration.
