Summary
The Cooperative Research Centre (CRC) for Catchment Hydrology was formed in July 1992. Areas of research that the CRC specialises in include catchment hydrology, soil physics, vegetation dynamics, flood estimation, river hydraulics and irrigation and drainage. From their Web site, June 2002: "The CRC for Catchment Hydrology aims to deliver the capability to manage catchments in a totally new way. Our central goal is to produce a decision support system able to predict the movement of water, particulates, and solutes from land to rivers, linking the impact of climate variability, vegetation, soil, and water management together in an integrated package. In 1999 it received a further seven years of funding.
