Narrowing the scatter and assessing the uncertainty of climate change projections of Australian river flows

澳大利亚东南部最近的长期干旱状况导致主要城市实行限水，墨累-达令地区的灌溉分配为零，突出了水对这个国家的重要性。该项目代表了一个综合的一揽子研究，将提高我们对未来年度河流流量的不确定性的理解，从而为澳大利亚日益稀缺的水资源的可持续管理做出更明智的决策。该项目的成果与国家研究优先事项“环境上可持续的澳大利亚”高度相关，特别是优先目标“水-一种关键资源”和“应对气候变化和多变性”。

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”.
