Survey participants
The survey was completed by 50 users of hydrological models, including researchers and consultants from both the public and private sector (Figure 1).
It is hoped that this project will foster closer collaboration between crown research organisations, universities and the private sector.
Hydrological models are widely used by non-modellers (20%) with little experience in coding or developing models (27%) (Figure 2). These results show the importance of the proposed hydrological model platform being readily accessible to non-programmers.
