Abstract:
: Modern environmental management, planning and granting of social license demand innovative technological solutions to navigate their inherent complexities. In this presentation, we will demonstrate the state-of-the-art preliminary implementation of a comprehensive Digital Twin technology developed to model, visualize, and effectively manage varying scales and types of potential greenfield land and water resource developments in key catchment areas across Australia. Our focus incorporates not only Digital Twin of landscapes and potential irrigated areas but also critical infrastructure such as road networks and human communities. The virtual representation encompasses an array of potential greenfield water resource developments including large engineered dams, earth embankment farm-scale gully dams, off-stream storage, groundwater bores, instream weirs, and managed aquifer recharge systems. Our technology provides dynamic and interactive visualization, allowing users to experience changes in river flow under diverse development scenarios and seasons, potential off-stream impacts, and temporal changes.
