Atmospheric analysis

The NZWaM – Hydro project is led by NIWA but all work is conducted in collaboration with our project partners.

NZWaM-Hydro is scalable, and the hydrological relationships in the model are transferable between locations.

Bringing together leading scientific organisations and regional councils, this project aims to develop a sophisticated computer modelling framework that will enable users to accurately predict how much freshwater is available, where it has come from, and how quickly it moves through New Zealand catchments.
