The project was the development of a holistic water resources model, based on available GIS data, to meet short-term and long-term water diversions and comprehensive watershed targets. The model considered various water demands such as domestic, municipal, industrial and irrigation as well as flood control, water and soil conservation and ecological demands.  The project resulted in a living geospatial tool with the ability to manage and optimise water allocation among different departments and different water users.
