We thank the Bureau of Meteorology, the Bureau of Rural Sciences and CSIRO for providing the Australian Water Availability Project data. Several authors received funding through the Australian Research Council: A.D.K. (DE180100638), and A.J.P. and A.M.U. (CE170100023). B.J.H. received funding from an Australian Research Council Linkage Project (LP150100062), which was co-funded by Melbourne Water and […] More

The development of the WoKaS database followed three steps: (i) identification of karst spring locations across the globe; (ii) sourcing for discharge observations of the identified springs; and (iii) evaluation of collected datasets, which included technical validation and quality assessment. The workflow of these steps is illustrated in Fig. 1. Fig. 1 Workflow of the karst […] More

Global model To assess the global potential of SPHS, our methodology integrates five critical components, which are: topography, river network and hydrology data, infrastructure cost estimation and project design optimization. SPHS project suitability mainly depends on the topography, distance to a river and water availability, which together determine the technical potential. Additional contextual factors, such […] More
