Water collected in dams and reservoirs remains the mainstay water resource for Australian cities, towns and industry. Overwhelmingly, that water is collected from forested catchments where the water balance of forest stands is dominated by the amount of water used by trees. Characterising tree water use, its response to changing climatic and nocturnal conditions, and other aspects of stand hydrology, are crucial to our ability to predict and model future water yields. Working in the Cotter catchment near Canberra and the upper Kiewa catchment in north-east Victoria, we aim to help the agencies responsible for water and catchment management to improve the security of their forecasts of water yield and their on-ground management.

水坝和水库中收集的水仍然是澳大利亚城市、城镇和工业的主要水资源。绝大多数情况下，这些水是从林木覆盖的集水区收集的，那里的森林林分的水平衡主要取决于树木所用的水量。表征树木的水分利用、对气候和夜间条件变化的反应，以及林分水文学的其他方面，对于我们预测和模拟未来的水分产量至关重要。我们在堪培拉附近的科特集水区和维多利亚州东北部的基瓦上游集水区工作，旨在帮助负责水和集水区管理的机构提高其产水量预测和实地管理的安全性。
