  • Cell-Based IQQM Wetland Modelling for Yanga National Park, a Forested Lowland Floodplain in Southern New South Wales
    19th International Congress on Modelling and Simulation, Perth, Australia, 12–16 December 2011 http://mssanz.org.au/modsim2011 Cell-based IQQM Wetland Modelling for Yanga National Park, a forested lowland floodplain in southern New South Wales C. Mackay a, I. Salbe b, L. Wen c, C. Ribbons b and N. Saintilan c a Office of Water, NSW Department of Primary Industries; formerly SKM b Office of Water, NSW Department of Primary Industries c Office of Environment and Heritage, NSW Department of Premier and Cabinet Email: [email protected] Abstract: Developing wetland hydrological models was an essential component of the NSW Rivers Environmental Restoration Program (RERP). The RERP aimed to arrest the decline of nationally important wetlands in the Murray-Darling Basin, and Decision Support Systems (DSS) have been developed for several wetland complexes to evaluate and compare the ecological impact of different river management policies, strategies and programmes. Each DSS is underpinned by a long-term hydrological model that provides inundation extents, volumes and durations for each wetland feature. This paper details development of the Yanga National Park hydrological model that provides hydrology inputs to the Lowbidgee DSS. Model development followed a novel approach, combining the advantages of hydrodynamic and hydrological modelling. Hydrodynamic models such as MIKE21 are routinely used to simulate flood inundation for a range of environments and spatial scales. However, the hydrodynamic model computation time required to simulate an area as large as Yanga National Park over many years and for repeated scenarios makes it impractical to use such a model to provide direct inputs into a DSS.
