Development in the study area is at risk to flooding during heavy rainfall events due to the nature of the urban environment and the limited capacities of the natural and built drainage network. Such events have occurred in 1984, 1986, 1988 (twice), 1989 (twice) and 1990, leading to widespread flooding and damage to properties. A number of major drainage improvement projects have been completed in the study area to alleviate the flooding problems. The storm events in May 1998 and April 2003 caused significant problems but not to the extent as those in the late 1980’s due to the drainage upgrades. However, there are numerous locations where existing development is at risk from flooding. This flood study has been commissioned by the City of Ryde (Council), with the assistance of NSW Office of Environment and Heritage, and defines the existing flood behaviour in the five catchments, being: Archer Creek; Denistone; Charity Creek; River and Gladesville. Flooding occurs primarily as overland flows in the majority of the study area, while mainstream flooding is experienced adjacent to the watercourses.

Points of interest include bridges, dams, gaging stations, county lines, hydrologic unit boundaries, and major tributaries. Drainage areas are presented for selected sites, including total drainage area for any streams draining at least 100 square miles. INTRODUCTION Expansion of water-resource investigations within the State of Illinois has amplified the need for a common index to locations on streams. A common index would aid in the coordination of various stream-related activities by facilitating data collection and interpretation.

Reproduction for purposes other than those listed requires permission from Sydney Water. Sewage Treatment System Impact Monitoring Program | Vol 1 Data Report 2019-20 Page | i Executive summary Background Sydney Water operates 23 wastewater treatment systems and each system has an Environment Protection Licence (EPL) regulated by the NSW Environment Protection Authority (EPA). Each EPL specifies the minimum performance standards and monitoring that is required. The Sewage Treatment System Impact Monitoring Program (STSIMP) commenced in 2008 to satisfy condition M5.1a of our EPLs. The results are reported to the NSW EPA every year. The STSIMP aims to monitor the environment within Sydney Water’s area of operations to determine general trends in water quality over time, monitor Sydney Water’s performance and to determine where Sydney Water’s contribution to water quality may pose a risk to environmental ecosystems and human health. The format and content of 2019-20 Data Report predominantly follows four earlier reports (2015-16 to 2018-19). Sydney Water’s overall approach to monitoring (design and method) is consistent with the Australian and New Zealand Environment and Conservation Council (ANZECC 2000 and ANZG 2018) guidelines.

Our national parks, harbour, beaches, coastal walks, waterfront promenades, rivers, playgrounds and reserves are integral to the character and life of the city. In this report the hydrological, recreational and ecological fragments of the city are mapped and then pulled together into a proposition for a cohesive green infrastructure network for greater Sydney. This report builds on investigations undertaken by the Office of the Government Architect for the Department of Planning and Environment in the development of District Plans. It interrogates the vision and objectives of the Sydney Green Grid and uses a combination of GIS data mapping and consultation to develop an overview of the green infrastructure needs and character of each district. FINAL REPORT 23.03.17 Each district is analysed for its spatial qualities, open space, PREPARED BY waterways, its context and key natural features.

    G.E.

(Geoff) Ford - which is a 558 page analysis of the historiography (telling of the history) with new findings. Details of the findings can be read in the 2010 thesis text, with commentary in footnotes. (References given here are to the thesis, online link at University of Sydney Library catalogue, http://ses.library.usyd.edu.au/handle/2123/7745.) Common spellings with English characters include ‘Darkinung’, Darkinyung, Darkinjung. Why not a map? That is considered p.347 fn.75. In mainland Australia, fixed boundaries did not exist before settlement, so these findings taken from analysis of the earliest historical source records are the best available topographical borders for the Aboriginal Darkiñung-language group who were the Wallambine people of the northern Blue Mountains: that is, people of the Hawkesbury-Hunter Ranges between the mid Hunter R. floodplain and the Hawkesbury R. floodplain. Throughout the continent, waterways or other water sources formed the centre of Aboriginal country. Geographical extremities of Aboriginal country in the study were found to be based on topographical watersheds of large catchments, other than when based on a wide body of water [such as Lake Alexandria near the Murray River mouth p.367 fn.16, p.264 fn.35], here a forcefully flowing river making an inland sea across a floodplain (p.234 fn.111).
