Abstract

ABSTRACT Understanding long-term trends in streamflow is important for water resource management. In this study, we investigate the long-term streamflow trends at 47 gauging sites within the southern Murray-Darling Basin (MDB), Australia. This study aims to estimate regional streamflow trends while understanding the impact of catchment characteristics on the spatial variation in these trends. To achieve this, we applied a Bayesian hierarchical model (BHM) to make the best use of available streamflow records from multiple sites and catchment characteristics such as climate, terrain, geology, land use and vegetation. The results show that streamflow trends from tested sites are consistently negative, with magnitudes of up to 2.7% per year relative to the annual average flow. We also find that spatial variability in trends can be best linked to differences in average climatic and terrain conditions. This finding can be used to inform future water planning for consumptive and environmental uses in the MDB.

了解澳大利亚南部墨累-达令盆地的区域水流趋势幅度
摘要了解径流的长期趋势对水资源管理非常重要。在这项研究中,我们调查了澳大利亚墨累-达令盆地南部47个测量点的长期径流趋势。本研究旨在估计区域径流趋势,同时了解集水区特征对这些趋势的空间变化的影响。为了实现这一点,我们应用了贝叶斯层次模型(BHM)来最大限度地利用多个地点的可用流量记录和集水区特征,如气候、地形、地质、土地利用和植被。结果表明,测试地点的流量趋势始终为负,相对于年平均流量,每年的流量幅度高达2.7%。我们还发现,趋势的空间变异性可以最好地与平均气候和地形条件的差异联系起来。这一发现可用于为MDB的消耗和环境用途的未来水资源规划提供信息。

期刊介绍: The Australasian Journal of Water Resources ( AJWR) is a multi-disciplinary regional journal dedicated to scholarship, professional practice and discussion on water resources planning, management and policy. Its primary geographic focus is on Australia, New Zealand and the Pacific Islands. Papers from outside this region will also be welcomed if they contribute to an understanding of water resources issues in the region. Such contributions could be due to innovations applicable to the Australasian water community, or where clear linkages between studies in other parts of the world are linked to important issues or water planning, management, development and policy challenges in Australasia. These could include papers on global issues where Australasian impacts are clearly identified.
