Abstract / Summary:
The Cooperative Research Centre (CRC) for Catchment Hydrology's research program
"Flood Hydrology" has the overall objective:
To improve methods for estimating flood risk and the reliability of flood forecasting, and advance the understanding of catchment similarity and regional behaviour.
The issues of catchment similarity and regional behaviour are specifically dealt with in CRC Project D2 'Regionalisation and Scaling of Hydrologic Data'. A report Regionalisation of Hydrologic Data: A Review (Bates 1994) has already been published as a CRC Report 94/5.
This report by Geoff Lacey (University of Melbourne) provides a review of the literature relating to scaling. This topic is relevant to many projects in the CRC; the extrapolation of results from test plots, or small research catchments, to much larger areas is a problem not limited to flood hydrology. Here, it is of interest to note that Geoff proposes to develop scaling theory suitable for the issue of catchment yield as an initial application.
