Recent prolonged dry conditions in south-eastern Australia have triggered water restrictions in major cities, zero irrigation allocations in the Murray-Darling region and highlighted the importance of water to this country. This project represents an integrated package of research that will enhance our understanding of the uncertainty of future annual river flows, leading to more informed decision making for the sustainable management of Australia’s increasingly scarce water resources. The outcomes from this project are highly relevant to the national research priority “An Environmentally Sustainable Australia”, particularly priority goals “Water - a critical resource” and “Responding to climate change and variability”.

最近在澳大利亚东南部的延长干燥条件引发了主要城市的水限制，穆雷 - 达林地区的零灌溉分配，并强调了水对这个国家的重要性。该项目代表了一项综合研究包，将增强我们对未来年度河流流动不确定性的理解，从而为澳大利亚日益稀缺的水资源的可持续管理提供了更明智的决策。该项目的结果与国家研究优先事项“环境可持续的澳大利亚”高度相关，尤其是优先目标“水 - 关键资源”和“应对气候变化和可变性”。
