Digitalisation is playing an increasingly vital role in Australia's water management amidst persistent challenges of scarcity exacerbated by climate change and population growth. Australia, known for its arid climate and sporadic rainfall patterns heavily concentrated in specific regions, faces a daunting task in ensuring a sustainable water supply.

Making digitalisation and the digital transformation easy for all

In Australia, digitalisation is taking on greater significance in water management, especially as the nation grapples with the pressing issues of water scarcity. This scarcity is intensified by the dual pressures of climate change and a growing population. Australia is characterised by its harsh, arid climate, where rainfall is sporadic and heavily concentrated in specific geographic areas. As a result, the country faces an enormous challenge in securing a reliable and sustainable water supply to meet the needs of its inhabitants and ecosystems. Integrating advanced digital technologies into water management practices is a crucial strategy for navigating these complex, interconnected challenges. Read More
Following the success of the connectivity trial, the Commonwealth Environmental Water Holder (CEWH) says Basin governments must continue to find a permanent solution so the southern and northern Basins are truly joined up.

Bias correction tool to improve water management

Accurate climate modelling is essential for managing water effectively in the face of climate change. A novel bias correction tool that improves the accuracy of climate modelling will help us adapt our water management to climate change. Read More
