| Australian rivers have been strongly affected by droughts over the past decades. The recent millennium drought (2001-2009) in the southeast was one of the most severe drought events that hit this country. Such a drought event is a natural disaster that has severe impacts on ecosystems, economy, and society. A deficit of precipitation often triggers the start of a streamflow drought. However, not every catchment is similarly sensitive to this lack of precipitation, e.g., catchments without any water storage in groundwater or lakes will be more affected by a short term precipitation deficits whereas other catchments with a lot of storage are likely to be hardly affected. The question is how the variable climatic and catchment properties in Australia influence streamflow drought characteristics and the drought propagation from precipitation to streamflow. | Australian rivers have been strongly affected by droughts over the past decades.
