Useful for

Use cases llm-inferred
Benchmarking rainfall-runoff model calibration on arid and variable-climate Australian catchments · Screening catchment attributes for regionalisation of flow estimates on Australian projects · Quantifying rating-curve and forcing uncertainty in historic flow records for Australian water resources studies
Audience llm-inferred
hydrologists · water resources engineers · flood consultants (Australian projects) · researchers in large-sample hydrology

Limitations

Constraints llm-inferred
Australia only; not applicable to UK catchments · Catchments are unregulated only; regulated or heavily modified catchments are excluded · Rating curve uncertainty estimates are provided for only about 75% of catchments · Entry metadata lists CSV, but the docs describe a tab-delimited text download · Spatial and temporal resolution are not stated in the docs · No update frequency stated; this is dataset v1 (published 2020-08-21) · Citation must be quoted when using the data (Fowler et al., 2020, doi 10.1594/PANGAEA.921850)
