Queensland Water Modelling Network
The Queensland Water Modelling Network (QWMN) is improving the state’s capacity to model its surface water and groundwater resources and their quality. The QWMN provides the tools, information and collaborative platforms to support best-practice use of water models, and the uptake of their results by policy makers and natural resource managers.
The QWMN:
-
addresses the critical strategic gaps and weaknesses in water models at all scales, from individual farm paddocks, through to catchments and regions
-
improves the integration of all Queensland hydrology, groundwater and water quality models—including Great Barrier Reef models—and the consistency of modelling practices across the state
-
integrates environmental monitoring activities with water modelling, particularly in priority catchments and basins
-
identifies innovation, research and development opportunities to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of water modelling in Queensland
-
develops a community of practice in model development that will better inform environmental resource management decision-making in Queensland.
