Water Modelling-Modelled Data-Regional Water Strategy

The datasets provided contain modelled daily streamflow, and storage volume data for several NSW river systems. These data were generated by simulating baseline river system models used to inform the development of Regional Water Strategies. The models were simulated for three different climate scenarios: instrumental climate (about 130 years), paleo-stochastic climate (about 10,000 years), and paleo-stochastic climate with climate projection based on NARCliM 1.0 (about 10,000 years).

Each modelled output is published as a ZIP file which contains two pdf files (.pdf) and three time series data (.csv).

Purpose The dataset provided contains modelled daily streamflow, storage inflow, and storage volume data for several NSW river systems. These data were generated by simulating baseline river system models used to inform the development of Regional Water Strategies. The models were simulated for three different climate scenarios: instrumental climate (about 130 years), paleo-stochastic climate (about 10,000 years), and paleo-stochastic climate with climate projection based on NARCliM 1.0 (about 10,000 years). Notwithstanding the model’s inherent limitations, these data provide a reasonable representation of what we might expect under the existing WSP's operational and development plans for these three climate scenarios.
