The Macquarie Without Development model covers the headwater catchments and river reaches of the Macquarie River basin. This includes the Macquarie River and explicit representation of its major tributaries such as the Fish River, Cudgegong River, Bell River, and Talbragar River, amongst others. It also covers the headwater catchments and river reaches of the Bogan River, and various floodplain distributaries and anabranches in the lower reaches of the Macquarie River basin. The model extends downstream to locations upstream of the Barwon River. The model extent does not include the Castlereagh River. Note: Source software (available from ewater.org.au) is required to view and run the model(s) within.

The Castlereagh River 'without development' model is a hydrological model of the Castlereagh River system that does not represent river system infrastructure, extractions or water management rules. Note: Source software (available from ewater.org.au) is required to view and run the model(s) within.

Water Models are comprehensive tools developed to simulate the behaviour of river systems under various conditions and scenarios. These models are essential for understanding and managing water resources, as they integrate a wide range of data inputs, including climate, hydrology, and human interventions. The following two categories of water models are available here: catchment models: catchment models, which focus on the natural hydrological processes within a catchment area; pre-development models: pre-development models, which simulate river systems before any water infrastructure or management practices were implemented.

Time series of modelled daily flow rates in megalitres per day across the NSW river systems – Barwon-Darling. Individual for each available river gauge data sets are attained via best available at the time of publishing hydrologic model/s and over the historic climate period (usually from early to mid-1890s to a water year previous to the date of publishing). Specific scenario data sets are expected to be updated annually and subject to quality requirements may be used in relevant studies. The naming structure of the individual files is "Gauge number_watercourse@Gauge name".

The datasets provided contain modelled daily streamflow, and storage volume data for several NSW river systems. These data were generated by simulating baseline river system models used to inform the development of Regional Water Strategies. The models were simulated for three different climate scenarios: instrumental climate (about 130 years), paleo-stochastic climate (about 10,000 years), and paleo-stochastic climate with climate projection based on NARCliM 1.0 (about 10,000 years). Each modelled output is published as a ZIP file which contains two pdf files (.pdf) and three time series data (.csv).
