Water balance

BC2C

BC2C (Biophysical Capacity to Change) is a tool for estimating catchment scale water and salt export quantities, following changes in landuse in upland catchments. Intended for use with regional data sets, it gives an indication of changes under different scenarios (e.g. change in percentage tree cover) that can be used to pin-point and prioritise areas for further investigation.


CatchmentSIM

CatchmentSIM is a 3D-GIS topographic parameterisation and hydrologic analysis model. The model automatically delineates watershed and subcatchment boundaries, generalises geophysical parameters and provides in-depth analysis tools to examine and compare the hydrologic properties of subcatchments.


CLASS-CGM

CLASS-CGM (Crop Growth Model) can be used to simulate growth of main C3 field crop types such as wheat, barley, canola, sunflowers and C4 field crop types such as maize and sorghum. CLASS-CGM can also be used to simulate crop growth impacts on water balance from CLASS-U3M-1D.


CLASS-PGM

CLASS-PGM (Pasture Growth Model) can be used to simulate growth of composite pasture types of multiple perennial or annual pasture species and to simulate pasture growth impacts on water balance from CLASS-U3M-1D.


CLASS-SA

CLASS-SA (Spatial Analyst) is a spatial modelling tool that can be used to generate climate zones, multi-resolution DEMs, wetness index, lateral multiple flow paths, accumulation and dispersion of water and solutes from hazard areas, estimation of soil depth, soil material distribution and soil moisture storage capacity in different parts of the landscape.


CLASS-U3M-1D

CLASS-U3M-1D (Unsaturated Moisture Movement Model) can be used for estimating recharge, plant water use and soil evaporation across the soil profile at daily time steps using the Richards' equation.


E2

E2 is a whole-of-catchment model building and running application that can simulate the effects of scenarios (e.g. land use or climatic change) on the flow and load of constituents (e.g. sediments, nutrients, salt) at defined points in a river network over time.


eFlow-Predictor

eFlow uses environmental flow objectives to generate an altered flow regime and determine how much additional water would be required to achieve the new flow regime.


IHACRES

IHACRES (Identification of unit Hydrographs And Component flows from Rainfall, Evaporation and Streamflow data) is a catchment-scale, rainfall-streamflow, modelling methodology that characterises the dynamic relationship between rainfall and streamflow, using rainfall and temperature (or potential evaporation) data, and predicts streamflow.


RRL

RRL (Rainfall-Runoff Library) simulates catchment runoff by using daily rainfall and evapotranspiration data. The models may be applied to catchments from 10 km2 to 10,000 km2 on a daily time step.


SedNet

SedNet identifies sources and sinks of sediment and nutrients in river networks and predicts spatial patterns of erosion and sediment load. This tool can help target management actions to improve water quality and riverine habitat.

Water-Quality-Analyser

Water Quality Analyser is for water managers, scientists and engineers who need to analyse time-series, monitor in-stream water quality, estimate pollutant loads, or set future water quality targets.

 

With a straight-forward user interface and a focus on visualising data inputs and outputs, Water Quality Analyser helps to identify water quality trends and simplifies the path to a summary assessment.
