Abstract / Summary:

This Industry Report is one of a series prepared by the CRC for Catchment Hydrology to help provide agencies and consultants in the Australian land and water-use industry with improved ways of managing catchments.

Through this series of reports and other forms of technology transfer, industry is now able to benefit from the Centre
s high quality, comprehensive research on salinity, forest hydrology, waterway management, urban hydrology and flood hydrology.

This particular Report represents a major contribution from the CRC
s flood hydrology program, and presents key findings from the project entitled
Improved Loss Modelling for Design Flood Estimation and Flood Forecasting
. (More detailed explanations and research findings from the project can be found in a separate series of Research Reports and Working Documents published by the Centre.)

The CRC welcomes feedback on the work reported here, and is keen to discuss opportunities for further collaboration with industry to expedite the process of getting research outcomes into practice.

This report is available for downloading. Printed copies can be purchased from the Centre Office
