Thesis title
Intra-annual hydrological responses to climate variation in native mixed-forest catchments
Supervisors
Project Outline
Victoria has experienced a marked decline in rainfall over the past decade, but how has this affected streamflows? In particular, have the intra-annual flows vital to ecological and water resource management – seasonal, low and high end flows – altered? This study aims to investigate how decreasing rainfall in native forest, medium rainfall catchments has impacted upon intra-annual flows, with an emphasis on whether soil moisture storages correlate with streamflow patterns.
