Interactive Calculator
Water Risk and Demand Calculator
Size the water a design will actually draw, test it against the allocation you hold and the stress of the basin it sits in.

How the score is built
Each input is converted to a score out of 100, averaged inside its group by field weight, then averaged across groups by the group weights below. Inputs without a weight feed the calculated outputs only.

Reading the result
80+Water secure
Demand, allocation and basin conditions are aligned.
65+Manageable
Workable with a cooling design change or a firmer allocation.
45+Exposed
Water is a live constraint on this design and will attract scrutiny.
0+High risk
The design draws more than the basin and the permit can support.
The working canvas
The calculator is the quantitative half. This is the page your team fills in around it, block by block, in a workshop or a diligence session.
