What is Source?
Welcome to Source - an application that can be used for both catchment and river modelling. Source provides a flexible structure that allows you to select a level of model complexity appropriate to the problem at hand and within any constraints imposed by your available data and knowledge. You can construct models by selecting and linking component models from a range of available options.
Source is designed to:
- Support the construction and operation of river models that mimic river behaviour. Water resource systems can be analysed for periods that range from days to many years; and
- Allow you to construct and interrogate water and contaminant transport models to assess the impact of future change, on parameters of interest.
You can build various kinds of scenarios, including:
- Basin planning scenarios,
- River Operator scenarios, which are intended to support day-to-day operations; and
- Catchment scenarios, which are intended to model water quality constituents (eg. salinity).

| Note: There are two versions of Source versions available - a version that allows unrestricted access to all parts of Source, and Source (public version), that provides limited access. Refer to Source versions for more information on what is available in both. |
Target audience
Source is designed for managers, researchers, modellers and consultants to develop computer simulation models of rivers and catchments so as to firstly, understand and explore important aspects of their behaviour and secondly, guide decision making.
