Cooper Creek Flood Modelling StoryMap Spatial Data

Spatial Data (ESRI shapefiles and geoTIFFs) underpinning maps appearing in Cooper Creek Flood Modelling StoryMap\n\nSpatial data used to present results of flood inundation modelling scenarios, based on future climate and gas industry activities, developed through stakeholder engagement workshops.\n\nThis project delivered outputs from targeted flood modelling scenarios developed in response to on-going engagement with stakeholders in the Cooper Geological Bioregional Assessment (GBA) region using interactive ESRI ArcGIS Online StoryMaps.\n\nThe outputs include changes to flood risk and flood characteristics under future climate scenarios and from gas industry developments, such as floodplain infrastructure, diversions or extraction activities.\n\nLineage: Refer to GBA Data collection on data.gov (Related Link: Hydrodynamic Model of the Cooper Creek Flooplain)\n\nThe Cooper Geological Bioregional Assessment (GBA) region has a large floodplain that floods frequently. This dataset contains model setups and validation results of a 2D hydrodynamic model (MIKE21FM), and all inputs and outputs for selected historical flood events (one set each for the Queensland side and South Australian side of the Cooper Creek). The calibrated hydrodynamic model can be used to evaluate how flood characteristics may change under future scenarios (development and future climate change). The model setup includes model mesh and all related setup files, inputs include rainfall, potential evapotranspiration, LiDAR DEM, river and water holes bathymetry, classified Landsat images for the flood events used, soil characteristics, vegetation characteristics, observed streamflow at the upstream gauges and ungauged inflows along the model domain boundaries estimated using a regionally calibrated rainfall-runoff model. Outputs from hydrodynamic modelling include daily estimates of spatial flood extents across the modelling domain, and water depth and velocities for each mesh element for all the historical flood events used. The full details about the modelling (model setups, inputs and outputs) are described in detail in this Cooper flood modelling report.
