Biophysical Approach To Predict Salt And Water Loads To Upland REALM Nodes Of Victorian Catchments
نویسندگان
چکیده
The need for a consistent Statewide approach to the modelling of water and salt export across the Murray-Darling Basin has led to the conceptualisation of the 2CSalt model. The model was developed by State agencies and associated partners of the CRCCH and Murray-Darling Basin Commission. It provides consistent and transparent predictions of salt movement under current practice and is capable of predicting the likely impact of land-use change on catchment yield and salt export.

Predicting Upland Stream Salinity After Reforestation
Native vegetation clearing has created salinity problems in many parts of Australia. Reforestation has the potential to reduce salinity, but also reduces stream flow and this is a cause of concern. Spatial predictions of the stream flow and salinity impacts of reforestation are needed to assess the ability to achieve salinity and water resource targets. Unfortunately, our ability to predict sal...
متن کاملTwo Modelling Approaches for Predicting Water and Salt Generation to Upland Streams: BC2C & 2CSalt
Predicting the impact of land-use change on water and salt generation from upland areas at a catchment scale is a difficult task. Across large catchments there are often limited field measurements, and so predictions are forced to rely on modelling. However, at this scale input data for models is usually restricted to information surfaces such as rainfall, geology, and surface topography, and h...
متن کاملManganese in runoff from upland catchments: temporal patterns and controls on mobilization
Knowledge of the hydrochemical dynamics of the trace metal manganese (Mn) in upland catchments is required for water quality management. Stream water Mn and other solutes and flow were monitored in two upland catchments in northern England with different soils: one dominated by peat (HS7), the other by mineral soils (HS4). Maximum Mn concentrations occurred at different times in the two catchme...
متن کاملDeterministic Model To Quantify Pathogen And Faecal Indicator Loads In Drinking Water Catchments
Catchments are the first potential barrier to pathogen hazards in the water supply system. Reducing pathogen loads exported from catchments to drinking water reservoirs is thus an important priority in applying a risk-based approach to managing water supplies. Although predictive models are available to estimate sediment and nutrient loads, few models are available to predict either bacterial i...
متن کاملManganese and land-use in upland catchments in Scotland.
Manganese (Mn) in surface waters is a micronutrient, but elevated concentrations are toxic to fish and impair drinking water quality. In Scotland, undesirable Mn concentrations (> 0.05 mg l(-1)) occur predominantly in upland freshwaters because the acidic pH and organic nature of catchment soils favour Mn mobilisation. The relationship between upland land-use in Scotland and Mn concentrations i...
