CatchX is a web-based, global, hydrological information platform for determining catchment hydrological characteristics. The platform will improve access, or provide access for the first time, to standard water balance information at a river catchment level globally, without the need for complex GIS or hydrological modelling skills.
The platform delivers catchment characterisation reports, annual and seasonal water balance information and natural stream flow estimates. These can be used to; inform equitable water resource allocation decisions, identify high water-risk catchments for prioritisation planning, quantitative analysis of impacts on natural resources, and provide a hydrological contextual understanding for water stakeholders that might not be available otherwise.
