Read MoreEarly in August we experienced a 1 in 50 year flood event at Mulloon Creek.
It was with a degree of trepidation that the Mulloon Rehydration Initiative’s (MRI) Project Coordinator Peter Hazell ventured out after the main flood to see how very recently installed leaky weir structures in the lower Mulloon catchment had fared, considering they had been in for such a short time. Normally, we would like a relatively small rain event first up to help ‘settle’ them in place.
However, the strength of both the design and the build was evident when Peter visited the creek. All had held up well and done their job of slowing the water flow and pushing water and nutrient rich sediment out onto the adjoining floodplain.
Well done to Peter and his team!
