Description CSIRO, through the Water for a Healthy Country National Research Flagship, was contracted by the National Water Commission to assess the current and future water availability in 18 regions across the Murray-Darling Basin (MDB) considering climate change and other risks to water resources. Three climate scenarios were used for the hydrological modelling in the project: historical climate, recent climate and future climate. The historical climate scenario, is the baseline against which other scenarios are compared. This dataset is used to run rainfall-runoff models and is based on observed SILO Drill climate data from 1895-2006. The original SILO data has been removed due to licensing restrictions. The areal potential evapotranspiration (APET) and point potential evapotranspiration (PPET) were both derived. Further details are in the published report: Chiew FHS, Teng J, Kirono D, Frost AJ, Bathols JM, Vaze J, Viney NR, Young WJ, Hennessy KJ and Cai WJ (2008) Climate data for hydrologic scenario modelling across the Murray-Darling Basin.
