The purpose of the report is to:

• Describe the process undertaken by the Freshwater Quality and Ecology Expert Panel to assess water quality and ecology under climate change and three management scenarios;
• Document the outputs from the expert panel’s assessment;
• Describe the methods used to ‘downscale’ the expert panel’s assessments to allow estimates of future environmental state at localised scales; and
• Compare water quality and ecology effects under climate change and across management scenarios.
