Column 3 For flooding for Alice Springs Town and Farms Areas, due to flooding in the Todd and Charles Rivers assess (i) Indirect costs. (ii) Social and ecological impacts. GENERAL APPROACH The study requires the direct input of local groups and government organisations, and is thus best managed locally. The approach is to draw on information obtained froD! recent flooding events in Alice Springs, and from other similar communities. In particular, the March 1983 flooding in Alice Springs is ideal: (i) It was a moderate size flood event on a community with little or no flood awareness or warning. (ii) It has been information is stores. well documented, although contained in a number of the data (iii)It is reasonably recent and so can be recalled by many people still living in Alice Springs. The information thus compiled is to be summarised in a decision matrix to be used in 1986 when examining flood mitigation options.
