Notes

The township of Borroloola, which is located some 720 km south-east of Darwin in the Northern Territory (NT), is one of the communities identified in the NT Government's 20 Growth Towns Initiative. Borroloola is subject to flooding from the McArthur River and hence, the NT Government wishes to identify land liable for flooding for its land use planning. In view of the above, WRM Water & Environment Pty Ltd was engaged by the NT Department of Natural Resources, Environment, The Arts and Sport (NRETAS) to undertake a floodplain mapping study for the Borroloola Township. In response, this report presents the results of hydrologic and hydraulic analyses of the McArthur River catchment.,
