This suite of prediction, optimisation and scenario evaluation tools will provide decision support for river operations, including the management of environmental flow allocations, in regulated river systems. The tools will also allow river operators and planners to work from a common platform.

Key outputs

• Tools that help lowland river planners and operators work towards shared objectives by providing a common platform for forecasting, planning and conducting operational activities.
• Tools that assist river operators in controlling the storage and movement of water and water quality within regulated river systems, and making and applying contingency plans for dealing with extreme events.
• Tools that enable river planners to manage flow regimes within river channels, predict the impacts of climate change, and manage the connectivity of rivers, floodplains, wetlands and groundwater to improve water quality and achieve ecological outcomes.
