Poor stream water quality is a critical problem in Australia and globally. Stream water quality depends directly on pathways and time taken for water to transport pollutants through catchments. Predicting these pathways is highly challenging and currently requires specialised data. This project aims to better model the movement of water from rainfall to streams, enable greatly improved use of water quality data routinely collected in Australia's catchments and thereby better predict water quality behaviour. Proposed field studies aim to support this development. The outcomes sought are improved planning and management of water quality in our rivers, lakes and estuaries, improved health of these water bodies and improved water supplies.

溪流水质不佳是澳大利亚乃至全球的一个关键问题。溪流水质直接取决于水通过集水区输送污染物的路径和时间。预测这些途径非常具有挑战性，目前需要专门的数据。该项目旨在更好地模拟水从降雨到溪流的运动，大大改善对澳大利亚流域定期收集的水质数据的使用，从而更好地预测水质行为。拟议的实地研究旨在支持这一发展。寻求的成果是改善河流、湖泊和河口水质的规划和管理，改善这些水体的健康状况并改善供水。
