Engineers Australia Talk – Modelling Future River Releases in the Upper Canning River
Register now for this in-person talk!

📅 Tuesday 17th March 12:00pm - 1:30pm
📍 Engineers Australia Perth Office: Level 10, 77 St Georges Terrace

Speaker: Eleanor Sydney, Environmental Officer, DBCA Parks and Wildlife Service, Western Australia

Presentation: Drawing on a UWA Research thesis project that applied the Mesoscale Hydrologic Model (mHM) to explore future river management strategies under climate change. The study simulates how varying river release schedules interact with projected rainfall and temperature trends, examining the volumes of water required to sustain ecological health and cultural values over coming decades. The talk also places the Upper Canning River within a broader context, comparing flow management challenges with other Australian catchments and highlighting the practical implications for water planners and environmental managers.
