This project plans to improve the monitoring of our waterways by developing a novel moving drifter system that takes flow and water quality measurements along the pathlines of the drifters. One of the key challenges for Australian water management lies in monitoring and managing rivers and estuaries effectively over large geographical areas. Traditionally, instrumentation at stationary points has been used for such monitoring, under the simplifying assumption that a single point adequately represents a very large region of water. By contrast, the Real-Time Flow Logging of Water (RT-FLOW) system expects to provide information from large regions of our waterways, providing stakeholders with more information to enable them to better manage issues including storm surge and erosion. The project also aims to provide improved validation of hydrodynamic models.

该项目计划通过开发一种新型的移动漂流系统来改进对我们水道的监测，该系统可以沿着漂流的路径测量流量和水质。澳大利亚水管理的关键挑战之一是在大片地理区域内有效监测和管理河流和河口。传统上，用于这种监测的是固定点的仪器，其简化的假设是，单个点足以代表非常大的水域。相比之下，水的实时流量记录(RT-FLOW)系统预计将提供来自大范围水道的信息，为利益相关者提供更多信息，使他们能够更好地管理风暴潮和侵蚀等问题。该项目还旨在改进对水动力模型的验证。
