The copyright for the TOPOG catchment modelling package resides with CSIRO Australia. The model may not be used to gain income, sold, or passed on to others, without the written permission of CSIRO.

Disclaimer
The TOPOG catchment model has been written to provide a research tool for the simulation of water movement in complex terrain. Where significance is to be placed upon the results of simulation, the user should have independent methods for checking the accuracy of the model predictions. Users are warned that significant errors in model predictions can arise from poor model parameterisation (i.e., input data errors). Topog has been written in good faith but CSIRO accept no responsibility for any errors or omissions it may contain or any liability or damage that may result from its use.

Acknowledgements
The development of TOPOG is a large group effort involving input from several CSIRO scientists, contract programmers and external collaborators.
