HowLeaky is water balance and water quality simulation software environment incorporating the PERFECT (Littleboy et al. 1992) model. This water balance model has been developed to assess the impacts of different land uses, soil types, management practices and climates on hydrology and water quality. HowLeaky is being continuely supported by a range of Australian organisations, including Queensland and Victorian Governments, RPS and DHM Environmental Software Engineering.
