Tocumwal and Barooga Flood Study

The Flood Study provides information to improve the understanding of flood behaviour and impacts in the study area, which includes the towns of Tocumwal and Barooga, as well as the intervening reaches of the Murray River within the Berrigan Shire. The Flood Study also provides an assessment of major overland flooding from local runoff at the townships of Tocumwal and Barooga.

Data Comment

Flood frequency analysis was utilised for Murray River design flow estimation. Hydrologic modelling (WBNM) was used for major overland flow local runoff modelling. Hydraulic modelling was undertaken using TUFLOW. Murray River TUFLOW model calibrated using data from the 1975, 1993, and 2016 flood events. Datasets associated with the Tocumwal and Barooga Flood Study project which have been uploaded to the NSW Flood Data Portal are as follows: Handover Notes, Final Report, Collected Data, Hydrology (includes Flood Frequency Analysis and WBNM files), GIS files, TUFLOW Model, TUFLOW Raw Results (1% AEP only) and TUFLOW Processed Results (20% AEP to PMF (or Equivalent Extreme)).
