We’d like your help to contribute to our South Geelong Stormwater Management Strategy. If you’re a current or past resident of South Geelong, Newtown, Breakwater, Thomson or St Albans Park, we’re looking for your memories, photos, videos, newspaper cuttings, views and local knowledge to capture experiences of flooding. Your input will inform our strategy to help us and other authorities to better understand and manage flood risks and stormwater impacts. Learn more and have your say at 👉 https://lnkd.in/gmv5JN-P Feedback closes on 15 August 2024.

Cost benefit analysis, and multi criteria analysis to support choices being considered for flood mitigation is an important part of investment decision making.
Kelsey van der Schyff and Tamara Stratton from WSP in New Zealand presented on “Put you money where the benefit is” to the Water New Zealand 2024 Modelling Symposium. The aim is to develop a workflow for RiskScape - using a urban flood Whakatane case study - to input into cost benefit analysis. #water #modelling

With rain in the forecast, it’s important to check drainage around your home. 🌧️🏠 Removing less than 10 cubic yards of flood-related debris from drainage ditches or small waterways within 150 feet of a structure outside of a local or state right-of-way does not require a state permit if you use hand tools.

In the face of rising seas and stronger storms, how can we protect and adapt the coastal places we love? We're enlisting YOU in helping to develop a plan for a resilient Lynch Park! The City of Beverly has launched a project to create a vision for a Lynch Park that works with water, looking at risks today and in the future, evaluating the condition of the existing seawall, and planning an improved drainage system for stormwater and ocean flooding.

In this short video we show you the steps of tanking a wall, reducing the water ingress and in turn, making your building more flood-resistant. https://lnkd.in/erBYNZhH

If you’ve followed us for the past year, you'll have heard that one focus of our programs is floodplain restoration. Healthy, connected floodplains are important for wildlife and for communities, and we feel the consequences when floodplains are disconnected. Learn how floodplains function and why healthy floodplains are an important part of reducing flood damages: https://lnkd.in/gbZijjfR

As this week's storms underscore, #climatechange requires much greater federal investment to protect us from more frequent and intense #floods, especially through nature-based solutions like those highlighted below. But the Governor's deep budget cuts to coastal resilience projects will delay state flood protection and make it more costly, increasing risks to communities throughout California. The legislature and Governor must devote more funding to these solutions, not less.
Green infrastructure in motion!🌿 I visited one of our key flood protection projects today north of Sacramento, called the Freemont Weir.👀 It’s one of several locations along California’s largest river where our levees are notched to let high waters flow into seasonal floodplains during big storm events. We are doubling down on this nature-based solution, expanding seasonal floodplains to: ✅ reduce flooding risks to communities ✅ provide critical habitat for fish & birds ✅ recharge groundwater basins for use during drought We are working hard under Governor Gavin Newsom’s direction to accelerate this green infrastructure and much more. Check out our progress at build.ca.gov. And if you wanna geek out on our system of weir and bypasses, check out: https://lnkd.in/giVQY6iU

“The sun don’t shine on the same dogs arse every day!”
1moCity of Greater Geelong What about the Rolerama Drain in Corio? Its overgrown with vegetation which in turn harbours all kinds of rubbish which clearly slows down the flow of stormwater runoff from Corio and Norlane resulting in flooding of Station Street bridge, Lowe Street bridge and finally St George’s Road bridge. All three bridges have had their structural integrity compromised due to severe flooding. These bridges have all seen a huge increase in heavy transport traffic since the Spirit of Tasmania has been docking at Corio Quay and the roads are showing severe degradation because of this now, especially with the implementation of double road-trains in Victoria, and all the COGG can do is put in place “Rough Surface” signs on the side of the road. Rolerama Drain needs to be cleared and turned into a proper concrete stormwater runoff channel all the way to where it comes out at North Shore with a foreign matter catchment area to prevent runoff waste from entering Corio Bay.
