Dataset: Data for river stage interpolation in the CLM groundwater model


Description

Abstract

The dataset was derived by the Bioregional Assessment Programme from multiple source datasets. The source datasets are identified in the Lineage field in this metadata statement. The processes undertaken to produce this derived dataset are described in the History field in this metadata statement.

The perennial reaches of the Richmond river network were explicitly simulated using the MOFLOW River Package. Long-term average river stages for the steady state model were interpolated from measurements obtained at 12 gauge sites located within the model domain. Transient river stages at the 12 gauges were derived from rating curves (Look_up_tables) based on historical records and the runoff component of the AWRA-L model outputs (AWRA_discharge). The dataset was used to calculate the long-term average river stages at the 12 gauge sites and also the look-up tables to fit transient river stages.

Dataset History

  1. Rating curves and look up tables were compiled using the monitoring data from the NSW Office of Water (see Lineage).

  2. Runoff data were generated by AWRA-L with calibration to available stream flow data in the study area.

  3. Calculate the future (2012 - 2102) transient river stages at the selected 12 gauges by substituting runoff data into the rating curves or look up tables.
