Recent persistently dry conditions in Australia have triggered water restrictions in major cities and re-emphasised the importance of water to this country. This project represents an integrated package of research that will enhance our understanding of interannual hydroclimatic variability, and its implications for land and water resources systems. The methodologies and model developed here will directly lead to more informed decision making for sustainable use and management of Australia's increasingly scarce natural resources to cope with changing climate over a range of time scales. This is particularly important for Australia because of its higher interannual hydroclimate variability compared to elsewhere in the world.

澳大利亚最近持续干旱的状况引发了主要城市的用水限制，并再次强调了水对这个国家的重要性。该项目代表了一系列综合研究，将增强我们对年际水文气候变化及其对土地和水资源系统的影响的了解。这里开发的方法和模型将直接导致更明智的决策，可持续利用和管理澳大利亚日益稀缺的自然资源，以科普气候变化的时间尺度范围内。 这对澳大利亚特别重要，因为与世界其他地方相比，澳大利亚的水文气候年际变化更大。
