RWQM The Moreton Bay Catchment Sub Model


The Moreton Bay Catchment Model (MBCM) utilises a catchment model software package to predict flows and nutrient/sediment loads coming off the Moreton Bay catchment area, and being transported via the waterways to Moreton Bay.

In previous reports, the catchment model software package was AQUALM, but due to lack of calibration for base flows and poor results, the newly developed Environmental Management Support System (EMSS) was used for the current work.
