Evaluating interventions
| RIPRAP |
|---|
RIPRAP is a spreadsheet program for the design of rock lining (rip-rap) for bank protection. |
| ReVegIH |
|---|
This tool allows assessment of the impact of large-scale re-vegetation on broad scale hydrology and determine the buffering capacity of re-vegetation to episodic groundwater recharge given Australia's high climate variability. |
| REsource ALlocation Model (REALM) |
|---|
The REsource ALlocation Model (REALM) is a Windows based computer program that can simulate the operation of both urban and rural water supply systems during droughts as well as during periods of normal and high streamflows.REALM is a generalised computer program that can simulate simple water supply systems as well as large and complex ones such as the Goulburn Irrigation system in south eastern Australia. |
| RAINMAN |
|---|
Australian Rainman is an easy-to-use seasonal climate analysis tool holding a database of historical monthly and daily rainfall for 3800 locations across Australia. It enables users to analyse climate variability for individual locations and regions, and to forecast seasonal rainfall as affected by the SOI or SST. |
| Productivity, Erosion and Runoff Functions for Evaluate Conservation Techniques (PERFECT) |
|---|
PERFECT simulates the major effects of agricultural land management and environment to predict runoff, soil loss, drainage, crop growth and yield. Simulation is site specific and can be used as a decision support system for farm level management as well as applied at the broader regional or catchment scale. |
| Policy Effects on Water Allocation (POWA) |
|---|
Objective is to assess the economic and streamflow impacts of changing water allocation policies and extraction rules on irrigators and the environment. POWA-Tool enables the comparison of options scenarios relating to water allocation management and climate and the consideration of tradeoffs involved with different allocation policies. |
| Plantation Information Network |
|---|
Provides information on areas suitable for plantation, platform for reports, studies etc. |
| Phosphorus Budget Estimator |
|---|
The Ellinbank Phosphorus Budget Estimator is primarily designed to determine if the application of extra phosphorus, above present soil levels, is a good investment. The Estimator is a spreadsheet-based decision-support tool developed to assist farmers and advisers make better phosphorus fertiliser decisions on dairy farms. It uses specific farm information such as soil type, stock numbers, grazing area, production, costs of fertilizer and feed, and returns from milk. By exploring a range of 'what if" scenarios, the Estimator can also be used to explore a number of different farm management options. |
| MUSIC |
|---|
MUSIC is designed to simulate urban stormwater systems operating at a range of temporal and spatial scales; catchments from 0.01 km2 to 100km2 and modelling time steps ranging from 6 minutes to 24 hours to match the catchment scale. |
| Multi-Criteria Analysis Shell for Spatial Decision Support (MCAS-S) |
|---|
MCAS-S is a generic framework for the use of data-sets in Multi Criteria Analysis. It is the latest of several MCA decision aids used in the Australian Government Department of Agriculture Fisheries and Forestry policy environment since the early 1990s. MCAS-S is currently being used at the national, regional and catchment scale for:
