Abstract

WRM Water & Environment (WRM) was engaged by the Northern Territory Department of Infrastructure, Planning and Logistics (DIPL) to update the flood study for the township of Katherine and the surrounds. The previous flood study was undertaken in 2000 (Water Studies, 2000a). This study has been prompted by advances in modelling technologies and the availability of recent topographic data.,
