Introducing the Gwydir River Without Development Model
Celebrating Science Week with Exciting New Data! ?
We’re thrilled to announce the addition of the Gwydir River Without Development model to the SEED Open Data Portal! This new dataset complements the Macquarie River model released last November (2023) and marks a significant step towards enhancing public transparency in water management.
Celebrating Science Week with Exciting New Data! ?
We’re thrilled to announce the addition of the Gwydir River Without Development model to the SEED Open Data Portal! This new dataset complements the Macquarie River model released last November (2023) and marks a significant step towards enhancing public transparency in water management.
Our Without Development model provides a hydrological view of the Gwydir River system, excluding any water infrastructure, management rules, or extractions. It’s based on comprehensive observations and is a key tool for understanding the river’s natural flow patterns.
How Can This Model Benefit You?
- Explore Natural Flow Patterns: See how the Gwydir River would flow without current infrastructure and management. Ideal for enthusiasts and researchers interested in natural river dynamics.
- Inform Your Projects: If you’re working on water-related projects or environmental studies, this model provides valuable insights into natural river conditions.
- Community Impact: Understand how changes in river management might affect local ecosystems and water availability.
Get Involved! We’re eager to hear how this dataset might help you in your work or research. Have you used similar models before? Share your experiences and thoughts with us!

Note: Source software (available from ewater.org.au) is required to view and run the model(s).
Happy Science Week! ? We look forward to your feedback, comments or questions.
Its great to be able to access details on river flows without human impacts/development. It provides a useful basis to understand and compare natural flows with flows impacted by extraction in the Gwydir River and will hopefully inform improvements in sustainable water management.
