Catchment Assessment Tool

The Catchment Assessment Tool (CAT) provides a modelling framework at a catchment scale to assess farming and forestry impacts on streams and groundwater. Information from exisiting models has been used to identify landscape, soil and plant interactions and predict water flow (surface and subsurface and deep drainage) for different plant systems. A series of fact sheets have been developed outlining CAT and its capabilities.
