MD-WERP Theme: Climate Adaptation
MD-WERP Theme 1 Project: Climate Adaptation Toolkit
Research Lead: Centre for Regional and Rural Futures, Deakin University, CSIRO
The impacts of climate change will affect the social, economic, environmental and cultural values of the Murray–Darling Basin. Some elements will be more vulnerable to climate change than others.
This report proposes a structure for a new climate adaptation toolkit, HydroBOT, which is designed to enable end-users to choose future climate scenarios, identify possible adaptation options and then model the flows associated with those scenarios. These would then be able to be used to understand the resultant response of identified values (e.g. environmental, economic).
This report outlines the architecture underpinning HydroBot.
