  • A History of Living with Flooding Size and the Amount of Rainfall Downstream of Dams, Total Flood Prevention Is Not Possible
    Managing flood risk Projects to improve flood mitigation in Brisbane and the surrounding areas have been discussed since European Brisbane River Catchment Flood Studies settlement and have included dredging and removal of a bar at the mouth of the river. Dams have an important role to play in water storage and flood mitigation in the Brisbane River catchment. Somerset and Wivenhoe Dams are the two main dams in the Brisbane River catchment. In addition to providing major water supply, they also play a role in reducing the impact of flood events. However due to the complexities of the catchment area such as its A history of living with flooding size and the amount of rainfall downstream of dams, total flood prevention is not possible. Flood Study Living with flooding is a part of life in the Brisbane River catchment and as a community we need to be informed, ready and resilient. The Queensland Government and local councils have partnered to deliver the Brisbane River Catchment We can’t prevent future floods. However, there are ways we can increase our level of preparedness and resilience to flood Flood Study (Flood Study), to investigate regional scale flooding across the Brisbane River floodplain that is caused by events across the Brisbane River floodplain. The Queensland Government and local governments are working on a long- substantial rainfall across the Brisbane River catchment. Knowledge gained from historical flood events was critical to the term plan to manage the impact of future floods and improve community safety and resilience. development of the Flood Study, which provides valuable information about the varying size and frequency of potential The Flood Study was completed in early 2017 and provides the most up-to-date flood information about the probabilities floods across the floodplain to better assess the likely impact of flood events in the future.

  • Baseflow in Lockyer Creek
    BASEFLOW IN LOCKYER CREEK By James Craig Galletly M Agr Sc, University of Queensland A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy School of Land, Crop and Food Sciences and School of Natural and Rural Systems Management University of Queensland Gatton, Australia 2007 Declaration of Originality This thesis reports the original work of the author, except as otherwise stated. It has not been submitted previously for any degree at any University. __________________________________ (James Craig Galletly) ii Abstract The basic question which this thesis seeks to answer is: ‘Was the baseflow which flowed continuously in Lockyer Creek prior to 1980 outflow from adjacent alluvial aquifers or was it outflow from basalt aquifers on the Main Range?’ This question was not obvious at the start of the project when information from ‘official’ sources suggested that Lockyer Creek was ephemeral, and there was no baseflow. To answer this question, it was necessary to define baseflow (as outflow from aquifers) and to devise a means of separating it from overland flow, because the existing methods separate ‘quick flow’ from ‘prolonged flow’: not overland flow from baseflow. The existence of baseflow presumes the existence of aquifers in the catchment, so geology of the catchment was examined to identify its aquifers. Streamflow records at four sites: three upstream and one downstream, were analysed to establish that baseflow was a significant component (25%) of streamflow over the period 1910-2000, and that average baseflow over this period was close to the estimated long-term safe yield of the Lockyer alluvium. The process of aquifer recharge was analysed and it was concluded that the alluvial aquifers are recharged by infiltration of water mainly through the bed of creeks and saturated flow in the aquifer below the water table, followed by unsaturated flow across a saturated/unsaturated boundary at the wetting front.
