  3. timeline • September: • 2 – Thursday – severe storms move over South Australia bringing heavy rainfall • 3 – Friday – heavy rain crosses the border into Victoria. • afternoon – heavy rains start falling in Victoria's western regions. • night – heavy rains fall in Victoria's central region and Melbourne. • 4 – Saturday – heavy rain falls in the state's north and northeast. • night – floodwaters move through many towns in the state's northeast. • 5 – Sunday – heavy rain falls in the Gippsland region. • 6 – Monday – rainfall eases off across the state but floodwaters are expected to move downstream. • 7 – Tuesday – floodwaters arrive in Shepparton and other towns, Bairnsdale not impacted as heavily as first thought.

  4. Physical Processes of Flooding • Flooding is generally made up of four processes • 1. Rainfall-for input of water. • 2.Runoff -where the water runs to. • 3. Flooding-where the rivers or drains over flow. • 4. Depth of inundation-as output where the water runs maintains the amount of damage.

  5. Ways to control flooding • 1. Control the water level of dams and pumping stations. • 2. Build barriers and flood walls. • 3. alter the river channels straighten it, widen it or deepen it.

  6. Authorities that were involved • Police • Fire brigade • S.E.S • Hospitals • Volunteers

  7. Benefits of the flood • Water prices are expected to drop dramatically. • Many areas affected have been suffering from drought. • The waters are expected to naturally flush out the mouth of the Murray River, this is hasn't occurred for nearly a decade.
