Description |
Heavy rains (60mm+) over the weekend in a saturated catchment caused peak flows of 8500ML/day at D/S Powlett/Foster Confluence. This reached the estuary yesterday and caused estuary water levels to peak at 2.44mAHD and the estuary to be flushed out with freshwater. Mouth of Powlett Rd was flooded. 1st photo taken from social media and was taken on August 17 after water levels began to subside. |
