2.6.1.1 Methods

Summary

A generic methodology for surface water modelling in the Bioregional Assessment Programme is reported in companion submethodology M06 (as listed in Table 1) (Viney, 2016). Section 2.6.1.1 describes the departures from that generic methodology that have been applied in the Clarence‑Moreton bioregion. The main difference is that in the Clarence‑Moreton bioregion, no river modelling is done because the effects of regulation are small. Instead, streamflow is predicted by accumulating output from the Australian Water Resources Assessment landscape model (AWRA‑L).
