Holistic water budgets of complete river systems

Water use decisions in one part of a river system can have effects, sometimes unanticipated, in many other parts of the system. A holistic water budget for a whole river system, from the uplands to the estuary, including groundwater and climate change, would allow water managers to explore the full set of potential consequences of their water allocation decisions. At present, no Australian river system has such an integrated predictive tool.
