The Water Panel is pleased to announce the next presentation will be held Tuesday 26th June and discuss the March 2012 Murrumbidgee floods.
Abstract
The March 2012 Murrumbidgee River flood caused inundation of properties from Jugiong to Darlington Point. Wagga and Hay, two major towns protected by levees required evacuation, and in other towns levee upgrade works occurred as the flood wave routed downstream. This presentation explores the situation prior to the flood, looks at flooding consequences and also at the complex operational decisions required to be made by the SES during the event.
