Development and Trial of a Methodology for Total Water Resource Assessment in Tropical Australia

Assessment of water development proposals to date has been hampered by the lack of information that can be used to reasonably estimate the volume of water currently available to the environment and the proportion of that water potentially available for consumptive users.

This project addressed this knowledge gap and provided a method by which information can be obtained that is necessary for a technically defensible and environmentally responsible water allocation policy in individual river basins.
