Modelled Daily River Flow Rates for Paterson Valley, NSW

Paterson Valley in New South Wales, Australia, is the geographic scope of this time series of modelled daily river flow rates. The data is produced by the NSW Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water using the best available hydrologic models at the time of publishing. The modelled historic climate period typically spans from the early to mid-1890s up to the water year prior to the publication date.

Use Cases

• Assess long-term water availability based on modelled daily flow rates.
• Calibrate or validate other hydrological models using the historic climate period data.
• Study the impact of climate variability on river systems using the extended time series.
• Support water resource planning and policy development for the Paterson Valley.

Strengths

• Modelled data covers a long historic period, likely from the early 1890s.
• Data is expected to be updated annually, suggesting ongoing maintenance.
• Files are named with specific gauge numbers and watercourse names for identification.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• The actual data quality and model accuracy require manual inspection after download.
• Row count and dataset size are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
