Hydrological modelling of the Parafield wetlands for hazard analysis planning collection

A hazard analysis was conducted of the Parafield catchment located in the City of Salisbury, South Australia, where an established managed aquifer recharge project exists. It identified areas where hazards exist in the catchment of the scheme. This collection includes a calibrated model of the Parafield catchment which was used to examine the travel time of pollutant spills from hazardous locations to the catchment end point. The model was developed in PCSWMM Version 5, available from CHI Software. However, the model is fully compatible with the USEPA Stormwater Management Model (SWMM) Version 5.

Further information on the intent, assumptions and background data for the model is provided in the research report for the project, please refer to the related publication.
