Ecological Tools
The eWater Toolkit is a convenient and free 'one-stop shop' for water and catchment management tools backed by a potent community of practice
Now with more than 10,000 users in over 120 countries, the Toolkit is a web-based distribution point for hydrological, ecological and catchment management models, databases and other resources useful to all involved in land and water management or related areas of R&D.
Presentation by Dr Nick Bond: Quantifying environmental water needs: eWater ecological tools
Water Quality Analyser is for water managers, scientists and engineers who need to monitor in-stream water quality, estimate pollutant loads, or set future water quality targets.
Do you need to know how a wetland will respond to watering in summer? Or if a fish population will benefit as much from flooding of a red gum forest as from addition of large woody debris to the river?
Eco Modeller can give you guidance—and confidence in your decisions.
An understanding of cause and effect is central to decision-making in environmental management. It matters most where decisions may be subject to challenge or where restoration budgets are tight and managers are looking for the best value.
Eco Evidence software facilitates causal assessment for environmental management, and offers a mechanism to make best use of the extensive pool of published research.
Are you a manager of environmental water allocations? Do you need a quick way of deciding how to augment existing flows to meet environmental as well as human objectives?
eFlow Predictor – from eWater CRC – is a standalone software tool that is designed to help you; it calculates the amounts of water required to provide flows that meet a set of environmental needs.
Concept
Concept is a conceptual diagram drawing package that can be used to communicate dynamic relationships between multiple elements.

CHUTE
CHUTE is a spreadsheet program for the design and analysis of rock chutes. Rock chutes can be employed in the restoration of rivers and channels to stabilise an erosion head or to reduce the overall grade of the channel.

RAP
RAP (River Analysis Package) is a collection of 3 tools: Hydraulic Analysis - examines the hydraulic characteristics of river channels to determine the optimal discharge for a river reach based on specified rules. Time Series Analysis - calculates summary statistics of time series data, including hydrological metrics. Time Series Manager - manipulates and manages time series data.
