The NSW Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water (DCCEEW) Water have conducted
the Lower Namoi and Upper Lachlan groundwater modelling enhancement project.
The project aimed to conceptualise the hydrogeology in the Lower Namoi Groundwater Source (Lower Namoi)
and Upper Lachlan Groundwater Source (Upper Lachlan).
This report focuses on the development of a detailed three dimensional (3D) geological model and an updated
hydrogeological conceptual model (conceptual model) for the Lower Namoi.
The conceptual model was developed to inform a future numerical groundwater model which will address
contemporary water resource management requirements to manage sub water source scale groundwater level
declines, characterisation of surface water and groundwater interactions and climate change risks. The existing
numerical groundwater model was built for water balance outcomes at the scale of the groundwater source and
is not currently designed to run local drawdown management, surface water and groundwater connectivity, and
detailed climate change impact scenarios.
