Australia, the world's driest inhabited continent, experiences highly variable weather and climate. Managing water under these conditions is complex. We use sophisticated computer models to help understand how water management decisions could affect rivers in the future.
There are many types of models that can be applied. We use hydrological models which capture both the natural behaviour of rivers and human decisions about water use.
No model is perfect, however these models are a vital tool to explore options. Their information is brought together with other information - such as on-ground lived experience - to help make water management decisio...
