## Future river scenarios

The [future scenarios section](Site02_Water_and_Ecology_Explorer.html#future) reuses the existing static terrain results for a synthetic seven-day hydrograph. It adds no measured or forecast water levels.

Climate values: NSW DCCEEW (2024), [NARCliM2.0 South East and Tablelands Climate Change Snapshot](https://www.climatechange.environment.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/2024-08/NARCliM2-Snapshot-SouthEastTablelands.pdf), Tables 2 and 5, PDF pages 8 and 17; retrieved 20 September 2026. Original PDF retained. The displayed values are regional ensemble means and ranges, not site predictions. Attribute the department and NARCliM project; no blanket package licence is inferred.

Flood sensitivity figures: QPRC / Lyall & Associates (2020), Section 2.10, report PDF pages 36–37, Figures 2.10 and 2.11, figures PDF pages 19–22. They show afflux and additional inundation for undated +10% and +30% rainfall sensitivity tests. Source notices and geographic content are retained. These historical study assumptions are not mapped to the dated NARCliM horizons. See [the future-scenarios guide](Future_River_Scenarios_Guide.md).

## Historical flood animation and observation atlas

The web atlas uses the existing occurrence records and source licences catalogued below. Display geometry is simplified by 2 m; the supplied GIS geometry is retained. The atlas does not add surveyed plants or inferred animal locations.

The historical comparison reproduces Figures C2.3, C2.4, C2.5 and C2.6 (both sheets), PDF pages 64–68 of the [official figures volume](https://www.qprc.nsw.gov.au/files/assets/public/v/3/building-and-development/planning-docs/flood-risk-management-plans-and-studies/queanbeyan-floodplain-risk-management-study-and-plan-2020-figures.pdf). The source is also supplied in `Documents/02_Flood_Study_Figures_2020.pdf`. Peak gauge heights come from Table 2.1 (report PDF page 23), and the 2010 timeline comes from Section 2.4.8 (PDF page 27) of the [official report](https://www.qprc.nsw.gov.au/files/assets/public/v/4/building-and-development/planning-docs/flood-risk-management-plans-and-studies/queanbeyan-floodplain-risk-management-study-and-plan-2020-report.pdf). The report's Table 2.1 attributes historic gauge peaks to the Queanbeyan City Local Flood Plan 2013.

Attribution: **© Queanbeyan-Palerang Regional Council 2020; study prepared by Lyall & Associates.** Both supplied volumes state Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 unless otherwise indicated; retain source notices and observe the stated third-party material exceptions. Pages have been rasterised for local viewing, and explanatory headings added around them in the animated GIF. Map geography, source legends and notices have not been altered. These are historical model reconstructions, not measured time-varying inundation rasters or a new hydraulic model. See [the detailed guide](History_and_Observation_Atlas_Guide.md).

Download completeness: all 999 extant and 114 pre-clearing features returned by the initial query were obtained. Clipping changes feature counts. Service-side projection used the available default transformation; source and target are both GDA94. GBIF WGS84 points were transformed using the inverse application of GDA_1994_To_WGS_1984_2. Reported coordinate uncertainty remains source-dependent.
