NZWaM - Water-age model
The purpose of the water-age model is to represent water exchange between land, surface-water bodies and aquifers. -
NZWaM - Surface water flow model
This task aims to improve and enhance the accuracy of surface hydrological model discharge predictions, at both catchment and regional scales. -
NZWaM - Groundwater flow model
The role of the NZWaM groundwater model is to improve surface water model simulations, by estimating groundwater storages and groundwater fluxes. -
NZWaM - Hydro-Geofabric
The purpose of the Hydro-Geofabric task is to gather, harmonise and augment existing multi-source spatial datasets to form a framework. -
NZWaM - Benchmarking
The purpose of the benchmarking task is to develop and implement a state-of-the-art operational method (that can be applied at national scale) to test hydrological models in New Zealand -

NZ Water Model - Hydrology
Research ProjectBringing 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.
