Our hydrology team crunches the data to bring you these monthly and yearly summaries. Note: The rainfall distribution maps (right column) are prepared using data interpolated from measurements taken at sites where rainfall is monitored by the Council. These maps are based on mathematical modelling and may not accurately represent actual rainfall in some unmonitored areas.

floodwalls and stopbanks. Floodgates to prevent floodwater travelling up stormwater pipes into the township. Temporary barriers for use when there is a risk of flooding. The Waitara scheme is now very resilient. But there remains a small risk that damage could occur during a very large flood, which might compromise the level of protection afforded to the township.
