The Bayesian Network Models for Environmental Flow Decision-making

This final report summerises the activities and outcomes of the Land & Water Australia Project - Environmental Flow Bayesian Network Decision-Making Framework. The development of two Bayesian Network models used as a decision-support tool for determining environmental flows in major rivers in Australia are reported on. The first eFlows BN model was for the Latrobe River in Victoria, a river system that is highly regulated and (more)...

Economic and environmentally sustainable use of various water supply sources for irrigation

In spite of the availability of powerful, user-friendly, model-specific pre- and postprocessing software, groundwater modelling is difficult. One of the main reasons for this is the necessity to transfer large amounts of data into and out of models, and between models, databases and visualisation and display software. The Groundwater Data Utilities were written to complement existing models, and their graphical pre- and postprocessors, were developed in an attempt to overcome some of the (more)...

Assessment of the ecological risks associated with irrigation in the Ord River Catchment

Phase 1 - Identification of risks and development of conceptual models

The purpose of this project is, as part of a larger NPIRD project, to identify potential ecological risks associated with irrigation systems in the Lower Ord River catchment. Specifically the objectives of this project are to: Develop a list of up to six ecological consequences of development in the catchment where irrigation is likely to have a significant impact. This is to done in consultation with relevant catchment stakeholders, identified by (more)...

Assessment of ecological risks associated with irrigation in the Goulburn Broken Catchment

Phase 1 - Identification of risks and development of conceptual models

The National Program for Irrigation Research and Development (NPIRD) has established a research project to develop and test a generic framework for assessing the ecological risks associated with irrigation systems. The framework development and partial testing will be informed by case studies in three irrigation systems, the Goulburn-Broken (Victoria), the Ord (Western Australia) and the Fitzroy (Queensland). Each case study is to be implemented in (more)...
