Water Tools

To be able to allocate water to different users across a catchment, user-friendly tools and data provide evidence to inform decision-making. Tools and methods tested and tried by Australian Partners can assist countries with data sets, modelling and mapping of water resources. These reliable, replicable, and feasible tools are crucial for gaining widespread trust in the way water is managed and allocated.
