CSIRO Atmospheric Research, Melbourne ISBN 0 643 09246 3 Acknowledgments: The Greenhouse Unit of the Government of Victoria is gratefully acknowledged for commissioning and encouraging this work. Dr Francis Chiew and Dr Walter Boughton are thanked for their work in running the SIMHYD and AWBM models for 22 catchments across Australia in the precursor to this work here. Without their efforts, this project would not have been possible. Rod Anderson, Jennifer Cane, Rae Moran and Penny Whetton are thanked for their extensive and insightful comments. The Commonwealth of Australia through the National Land Water Resources Assessment 1997–2001 are also acknowledged for the source data on catchment characteristics and the descriptions used in individual catchment entries. Climate scenarios and programming contributing to this project were undertaken by Janice Bathols and Jim Ricketts. This work has been developed from the results of numerous studies on the hydrological impacts of climate change in Australia funded by the Rural Industries Research and Development Corporation, the Australian Greenhouse Office, Melbourne Water, North-east Water and the Queensland Government. Collaborations with other CSIRO scientists and with the CRC for Catchment Hydrology have also been vital in carrying out this research.
