Durras Lake is an ICOLL located on the south coast of NSW. The Durras Lake catchment and estuarine system will be used as the basis for an assessment of appropriate methods to generate catchment flows from available climate station data. This study is based from primary research which provides underlying GIS maps and basic water balance methodology. The generated runoff, lake inflows and water loss from the lake will be derived and applied to a simplistic, but optimal water balance model. Assessments of rainfall and lake entrance breaching under current climate regimes has be derived through a...
