Abstract / Summary:
One of the core projects in the CRC's Flood Hydrology Program deals with the issue of losses from storm rainfall. The uncertainty in current estimation methods for determining how much rainfall becomes runoff is a significant challenge both in design flood estimation and in flood forecasting.
Since losses from actual storms depend heavily on antecedent conditions, an approach which accounts for the wetting and drying of a catchment between major storms has some attraction. To this end, a modelling approach (using AWBM) has been included in CRC Project DI "Improved Loss Modelling for Design Flood Estimation and Flood Forecasting". Professor Walter Boughton (currently: Honary Senior Fellow, Griffith University, Queensland) has been involved with the project team on this aspect, and has run two AWBM workshops in Melbourne as part of the CRC program.
In this report, Professor Boughton shows how AWBM can assist in checking the consistency of rainfall/evaporation/runoff data sets, as task which is sometimes overlooked. His advice should be of great assistance to would-be catchment modellers, particularly when it is accompanied by a full set of the AWBM software from the World Wide Web.
I am delighted to have Walter Boughton involved in the CRC in this way, and thank him for this contribution.
