This research has been supported by the Water Information Research and Development Alliance (WIRADA) between the Bureau of Meteorology and CSIRO Land & Water Flagship. Jayson Peterson (Entura) and Greg Carson (Hydro Tasmania) supplied data for the Forth River. David Enever and Chris Leahy (both Bureau of Meteorology) assisted in supplying data for the remaining catchments. Jean-Michel Perraud (CSIRO) configured models for the Murray catchment. We thank David Post (CSIRO) for comments and corrections to the manuscript. Catchment maps in Fig. 1 are generated from the Bureau of Meteorology Geofabric (http://www.bom.gov.au/water/geofabric/). We are grateful to four anonymous referees, whose constructive and thorough reviews helped improve the paper substantially.
