When the event number exceeds the target number of events, lowest magnitude events are removed. The previous event sorting approach has been replaced by retaining the event list and removing low magnitude events from the event list to ensure the event ordering is maintained.

The following changes apply to within year and multiyear freshes flow rule types

Event Selection

The selection of a freshes event from within an event opportunity, has been updated to be the first occurrence of the maximum score event. Previously, the selected event was updated if the event score was equal to the previously selected event, resulting in the selection of events toward he end of the event opportunity. The result of the change is that where events of equal score occur within an event opportunity, the selected event will be the first, rather than the last occurrence of the maximum score event.

Event Selection for failed independence

Where events are too close (gap is less than the minimum independence criteria), one of the events is discarded. Previously, the first event was discarded. This has been revised so that the event of the lowest score is discarded (which may be the second event).

Event independence scoring

Where the prescribed event number is one or when only one event is detected, the event independence score is set to the maximum score.

In the system setup, you can now link the flow data to API services fro Queensland, New South Wales and Victoria. In addition there is a global update button. Pressing the global update will check all API enabled flow data and retrieve the most up to date flow data. This functionality will allow for rapid testing of within season environmental watering performance.

The multiyear flow rule allows the consideration of a flow requirement across multiple years with the additional inclusion of of a ‘maximum period’. An example flow requirement suitable for the multiyear flow rule would be: I require 3 flow events over a 10 year period and the maximum time between events is 4 years.

The partial success tables now have a chart to illustrate the shape of the response curve between target% and performance %.

The results can now be visualised in the ‘explore results’ tab. The explore results allows you to see results for a single year or across all year, aggregated to region, catch, sub-catchment, site or at an individual flow rule level.

The results visualisation can be filtered by reporting level
