Abstract

A study, recently completed for the Herbert River Improvement Trust in North Queensland, established a programme of flood mitigation measures for the flood-prone lower catchment of the Herbert River. Mathematical modelling of the hydraulic and economic environment of the delta, covering 500 sqkm and including the town of Ingham, was used to identify the most cost-effective measures for the alleviation of flood damages in both the urban and rural sectors.
