REALM Credentials
The REALM package was developed and tested over many years by the Victorian Department of Sustainability and Environment in close conjunction with its major users. Program maintenance and user support, including the provision of technical workshops, is provided by Victoria University.
Over the years, many enhancements have been made in response to suggestions and feedback from users. As a result, not only it is now able to meet the needs of a diverse set of users in the water industry, but also it has developed into a comprehensive tool for water supply planning and management.
REALM has been adopted as the modelling standard for water resource planning and management in Victoria and is the key analytical tool for reviewing and quantifying water entitlements for water authorities within the state. There are now REALM water resource planning models of all major water supply schemes in Victoria and a few in other states. REALM can also be used as a teaching tool and for research purposes.
REALM has proved its credibility in the water industry as a user-friendly, reliable and powerful tool to address water supply planning and operational issues.
