E Water Source...

Description

eWater Source – Australia's National Hydrological Modelling Platform (NHMP) – is designed to simulate all aspects of water resource systems to support integrated planning, operations and governance from urban, catchment to river basin scales including human and ecological influences. Source accommodates diverse climatic, geographic, water policy and governance settings for both Australian and international climatic conditions. Source provides a consistent hydrological and water quality modelling and reporting framework to support transparent urban, catchment and river management decisions. Fundamental to this design is the flexibility which makes it readily customisable and easy to update as new science becomes available. New capabilities can be incorporated via plugins developed to suit particular needs while maintaining the overarching consistent decision and policy framework. We have released a free public version of Source, which is suitable for IWRM studies and development of customised Decision Support Systems. Source (public version) is a fully-featured hydrological, water balance and water quality tool, an ideal entry point for Transboundary IWRM studies and research based on the leading hydrological and water quality foundations of Source. For more information on this free version of Source, see Overview – Source (public version). eWater and its Australian government and industry partners have completed more than 100 Source applications, and inform on water policy, water sharing plans and catchment management.
