Water Modelling-Modelled Data-No Plan Environmental Water (No PEW) - Macquarie

A modelled scenario dataset for the Macquarie and Cudgegong Regulated River Water Source, created by removing Plan Environmental Water (PEW) rules and Held Environmental Water (HEW) licences from a Current Conditions model. It was published by the NSW Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water and last updated on 2026-05-13. Flow data is provided for eight key monitoring sites, including Cudgegong@YambleBridge and Macquarie@Dubbo.

Use Cases

• Modeling river flow scenarios based on the removal of specific Plan Environmental Water allowances.
• Analyzing hydrological impacts at key sites like Macquarie@WarrenWeir and Macquarie@Carinda.
• Comparing baseline conditions against scenarios without environmental water provisions.
• Assessing water availability for the Macquarie Translucent and Active sub-allowances.

Strengths

• Focuses on eight specific river monitoring sites, providing targeted location data.
• Explicitly models the removal of three defined Plan Environmental Water rules from Section 14 of the Water Sharing Plan.
• Last updated date is precisely documented as 2026-05-13 04:06:06.965531.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Data may reflect geographic bias inherent to data_gov_au, focusing solely on the Macquarie-Cudgegong system.
