Executive summary
In this literature, different scopes and objectives of the Victorian Desalination Project, at Australia
are identified. This project is a considerable investment ever done in the nation and aims to change
the climate of the country. The roles and regulations to undertake the project are examined here. The
risks emerging from the project are identified in the study along with the development of a critical
overview of the project.

3VICTORIAN DESALINATION PROJECT
1. Introduction:
The VDP or Victorian Desalination project is a sophisticated infrastructure intended to adopt
climate. It is regarded as one of the top-listed investments done in Australia. Here, Wetlands and
various dune ecologies have been reconnecting different remnants and providing an outstanding
visitor experience (http://fusedigital.com.au, 2018).
In the following study, the various project scopes and objectives are identified. Next,
multiple sectors such as marine intakes, outlet structures, desalination plants are demonstrated here.
Then, different regulations and their roles are assessed. At last a critical review is made on VDP’s
type of contract along with identifying various risks.
2. Project scope:
At 2007, Victoria was under the management of “Millennium Drought: The water storages at
Melbourne were at about 30% and reservoirs feel by 20% for the subsequent months. Further, there
has been a nonstop decrease in storage levels and shortfall taking place between demand and supply
for one year. Due to this problem, suspecting of prolonged droughts for following years and rise in
population, a VDP was needed to be created.
The project intends to create a rainfall independent VDP. This should be able to supply up to
150 GL of quality system of drinking water every year. It also includes delivery of one third of
annual water consumption at Melbourne.
