Abstract / Summary:
The material in this report is a contribution to one of the core research projects in the Cooperative Research Centre for Catchment Hydrology,"Development and evaluation of predictive tools for water production in natural, disturbed and managed forests."
The project aims to synthesise our knowledge of forest water balance, to generate key experimental information on the factors that determine how water, soils, trees and landscapes interact, and to produce operational models for water productivity that can be used by resource managers and planners.
This report summarises results from one of the intensive experimental phases of the project. The work has been conducted in catchments that supply water to the city of Melbourne, where planning for future water sources is now a matter of intense public debate. The report makes an important contribution to the scientific understanding needed to make the correct resource management decisions.
The report's authorship (Rob Vertessy, CSIRO, project leader; Richard Benyon, Melbourne Water; Sharon O'Sullivan and Paul Gribben, Monash University) reflects the collaboration that is now well developed between three of the CRC participants. That collaboration already extends into other resource agencies who are participating in the research, and who will benefit from it.
