Flood Hydrologic and Hydraulic Modelling

Summary

The Trust has developed a detailed and refined hydrological model and hydraulic model of the catchment and its waterways.

The hydrologic model called RAFTS calculates run-off volumes from rainfall data.

The hydraulic model called MIKE-11 calculates flood heights and velocities at over 2000 locations across the catchment from the run-off data calculated from the hydrologic model.

The flood data calculated is used by the four local councils in their flood related development control plans.
