The Potential for Dams to Impact Lowland Meandering River Floodplain Geomorphology

Figure 4

(a) Location map of the Goulburn River in Victoria, southeast Australia. (b) Recorded flows (under dammed conditions) compared with modelled natural flows for two locations on the Goulburn River. Eildon is immediately downstream of the major dam within the catchment. Murchinson is located midcatchment, downstream of Goulburn Weir, a major offtake and flow control structure. (a) and (c) are based on median monthly flows. (b) and (d) are flood frequency curves based on the partial series.
