About

Australian Rainfall and Runoff (ARR) is the national guidelines document, data, and software suite to design flood estimation in Australia.

This On-demand ARR Training Series is designed based on the ARR 4th edition to provide participants with the key concepts and methodologies outlined in the guidelines, including rainfall data analysis, hydraulic modelling, and flood estimation techniques.

Developed in collaboration with industry and academic experts, this series offers eight comprehensive 3-hour courses. The courses are structured to provide participants with a theoretical understanding and practical applications using real-world case studies to enable them to apply the ARR guidelines effectively in their work.

Background

ARR 4th edition is a major update to guidelines, the first in 30 years. This edition comprises The Guidelines, ARR Data Hub and Software tools for easier access to relevant information.

With national applicability, balancing the varied climates of Australia, it is a pivotal framework for the safety and sustainability of Australian infrastructure, communities, and the environment.

Originally published in 1958 by Engineers Australia and periodically revised, ARR 4th edition was released in 2019 with the support of the Commonwealth Government of Australia and Geoscience Australia. This edition of the guidelines includes new methods for estimating rainfall, revised approaches to hydrologic and hydraulic modelling, and incorporating climate change projections into flood estimation.

The information and the approaches presented in Australian Rainfall and Runoff are essential for policy decisions and projects involving:

infrastructure such as roads, rail, airports, bridges, dams, stormwater and sewer systems;
town planning;
mining;
developing flood management plans for urban and rural communities;
flood warnings and flood emergency management;
operation of regulated river systems; and
estimation of extreme flood levels.

How it works

AWS has designed the ARR On-demand Training Series for professionals looking to gain a strong foundation in understanding of the ARR principles to enable them to improve the accuracy and reliability of flood assessments. Once you register, you’ll receive immediate access to all eight (8) courses with unlimited access for 4 months. Learn at your own pace, through a combination of video recordings, practical exercises, and real-world case studies.

This 8-course training series is designed as a scaffolding approach, where each 3-hour course builds on the previous one, gradually developing your skills to fully understand all aspects of the ARR guidelines and how to use the Data Hub and Software tools.

The series begins with two free webinars, “ARR Essentials” and “What’s new with ARR“, which introduce the fundamentals of ARR guidelines (including the Data Hub and Software tools), its core concepts, key topics and approaches and also Book 1 of the Guidelines – Scope and Philosophy.

As you progress through the course content, you can contact our expert presenters at any time via the learning platform. Track your progress, revisit materials anytime, and complete the courses on your schedule.
