Modelled Daily River Flow Rates for the Macquarie Valley, NSW

Modelled daily flow rates in megalitres per day for river systems in the Macquarie Valley, NSW. The NSW Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water produces these time series using the best available hydrologic models over a historic climate period typically starting in the early to mid-1890s. Individual files are named according to the structure 'Gauge number_watercourse@Gauge name'.

Use Cases

• Calibrating hydrological models based on modelled daily flow rates.
• Assessing long-term water availability based on time series data spanning over a century.
• Planning water resource infrastructure using modelled flow scenarios for specific river gauges.

Strengths

• Time series data spans a historic climate period from the early to mid-1890s up to a year prior to publication.
• Data is modelled using the best available hydrologic models at the time of publishing.
• Specific scenario datasets are expected to be updated annually.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
