View More Webinars

About

The ARR Data Hub is continuing to evolve, with several important updates now becoming available to practitioners across Australia.

This webinar will provide a practical overview of recent ARR Data Hub developments, including the integration of new IFD information, climate-adjusted workflows, updates to New South Wales default inputs, and the implications these changes may have for current hydrologic and flood modelling practice.

The session is designed to help practitioners understand what has changed, what is now available within the Data Hub, and how these updates may influence current workflows, flood studies, planning assessments, infrastructure design, and climate adaptation considerations moving forward.

Recent updates to the ARR Data Hub are introducing significant new functionality and datasets that practitioners should be aware of across flood estimation and hydrologic assessment workflows.

This webinar will provide a practical walkthrough of the latest ARR Data Hub developments and discuss how these updates may influence current approaches to design rainfall selection, climate change considerations, flood estimation practice, and broader project delivery workflows.

The session will include discussion around:

New IFD information now available nationally through the ARR Data Hub
Integration of updated South East Queensland / QRA IFD datasets• Where to find Jurisdiction specific IFD guidance and information (particularly around climate baselines and IFD enveloping information)
Automatic climate-adjusted rainfall functionality now available within the ARR Data Hub
Updates to New South Wales default inputs and associated practitioner implications
Practical implications for councils, consultancies, state government agencies, water utilities, and flood practitioners
Understanding how these changes may influence current and future flood studies and infrastructure design workflows
General practitioner guidance around transitioning workflows and understanding the latest ARR Data Hub functionality
New functionality on sampling with GIS files, saving datahub outputs, using the outlet function to govern jurisdiction used for request

This session will be highly relevant for:

Flood and drainage engineers
Hydrologists and hydraulic modellers
Local councils
State government agencies
Water utilities
Infrastructure planners and designers
Environmental and water consultancies
Catchment and floodplain management practitioners

The webinar is intended as a practical industry update and discussion session to help practitioners better understand the evolving ARR Data Hub environment and associated workflow implications.
