Hessie Schultz.
No full textHessie grew up on a sugar cane farm near Ayr, North Queensland and was educated in Charters Towers. After the death of her mother in 1924, she kept house for her widower father until his death in 1937. On 12th April 1942 she married Charles Noel Schultz in Townsville. Charlie was a pastoralist, horseman, stockman, drover and owner of Humbert River Station in the Northern Territory. Hessie began to civilise the station and living conditions improved, they eventually built a new and larger homestead. Hessie brought up her two girls Donna and Betty and fostered many other children including Les Humbert who was the Northern Territory's most successful jockey in over 100 years, Larry Johns, Rosie Gordon and Roy Harrington. In 1952 she took Roger Steele under her wing for a few years. Hessie and Charlie empathised with the predicament of the Aboriginal Territorians and came to an arrangement with the Department of Native Affairs to look after and educate a number of half-caste children, many from other districts. Hessie defied the instructions to leave the station when told to evacuate during the war. She and Charlie often went to visit the soldiers camped at Victoria River Downs property or have them over to Humbert for a home cooked meal. They sold Humbert River Station in 1971 and moved to Yankalilla, South Australia where they continued their interest in race horses for many years.Pastoralis

Impacts of irrigation and hydroelectric power developments on the Victoria Nile in Uganda
No full textThis research aimed at increasing the understanding of the water resources of
the Victoria Nile basin and assessing the impact of irrigation and hydropower
developments on the Victoria Nile under different rainfall regimes. A Bayesian
Network constructed with the HUGIN expert researcher software version 6.9 was
used as the decision tool. The Network used a mixture of data, information from
previous studies and consultation with experts/stakeholders. A network consisting
of 21 nodes was developed and run to determine the impacts of different
development scenarios.
The Victoria Nile basin in Uganda is the first recipient of the river Nile flow as it
leaves Lake Victoria. In this basin, there is potential for 5 large hydroelectric
power plants and the basin consists of 70% of the irrigation potential in Uganda
and yet it is one of the most lacking in hydrological data in the Nile basin. Further
downstream of this basin are two riparian states, Egypt and Sudan which
according to the prevailing legislation on the use of the Nile share amongst
themselves the entire river flow.
The research shows that Irrigation and hydropower developments have modest
effects on lake levels and river flows exiting the basin. Rainfall occurrence on the
other hand has the largest effect on the lake levels and Victoria Nile river flow
exiting the basin. It is shown that in situations of very high water demand, which
occurs when annual rainfall is less than 1,200 mm, full irrigation potential is
utilized and all 5 hydroelectric power plants are developed, irrigation water need
is not more than 7% of the Nile flow from the basin. The effects of hydropower
plants are manifested mainly in the socioeconomic impacts in their vicinity, which
are found to be large and to increase with the number of plants developed. The
current mode of operation of outflows from Lake Victoria which is based on an
international agreement between Uganda and Egypt is a satisfactory means of
control only during moderate rainfall events and lake levels. However, for
extreme conditions of lake levels outside the range of 10.8-11.6 m it is
inadequate under increasing demands of hydroelectric power generation
