What is involved in flood investigation?
Floods are potentially one of the most predictable disasters confronting Victoria. Tools are available to analyse their magnitude, frequency and impact. The length of time before rain falling on a catchment aggregates into flooding on the floodplain can be predicted, with varying degrees of precision. The Edenhope and Apsley flood investigations will focus on the urban area of the towns and provide useful information to direct the future use and development of urban land.
