The nature of the recent rainfall decrease in the vicinity of Melbourne, southeastern Australia, and its impact on soil water balance and groundwater recharge
TLDR
The nature of the recent rainfall decrease in the vicinity of Melbourne, southeastern Australia, and its impact on soil water balance and groundwater recharge was investigated in this paper, where the authors focused on the impact of rainfall decrease on groundwater recharge.Abstract:

Towards improved rainfall-runoff modelling in changing climatic conditions
TL;DR: In this paper, five conceptual rainfall-runoff model structures are tested in 86 catchments in Australia and the results indicate considerable scope for improved calibration, relative to commonly used approaches.

Rainfall and streamflows in the Greater Melbourne catchment area: variability and recent anomalies
TL;DR: This article investigated rainfall and water availability across several catchments northeast of Melbourne using gridded rainfall data over the last 113 yr and reconstructed streamflow observations for the last 100 yr, focusing on the 1997−2009 record-breaking rainfall deficits, associated record-low streamflows and subsequent recovery from 2010 to 2012.
Precipitation and evaporative aspects of the terrestrial water balance in Central Victoria and their relationship to large-scale climate drivers during the growing season
TL;DR: In this article, rainfall and pan evaporation characteristics are analysed on both monthly and seasonal timescales within the 'growing season' from March - November. But the authors focus on the "growing season", a period where increased availability of moisture is critical for commencing, maintaining and ceasing a variety of agricultural practices.

Crop evapotranspiration : guidelines for computing crop water requirements
TL;DR: In this paper, an updated procedure for calculating reference and crop evapotranspiration from meteorological data and crop coefficients is presented, based on the FAO Penman-Monteith method.

Response of mean annual evapotranspiration to vegetation changes at catchment scale
TL;DR: In this article, a simple two-parameter model was developed that relates mean annual evapotranspiration to rainfall, potential evapOTranspiration, and plant-available water capacity.

Global physical climatology
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present an overview of the history and evolution of Earth's climate, including the global energy balance, sensitivity and feedback mechanism. But they do not consider the effects of anthropogenic climate change.

R. H. Crockford,D. P. Richardson +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a review of current knowledge of the effect of forest type, ground cover and climate on rainfall partitioning into throughfall, stemflow and interception.
