Title

Tweed River Floodplain Prioritisation Study

Abstract

The Coastal Floodplain Prioritisation Study covered seven estuaries on the NSW floodplain. The study included an extensive data collection and collation process to improve understanding of the processes and areas that contribute to poor water quality and improve overall floodplain management. The data delivered here includes information on floodplain drainage infrastructure, soil stratigraphy and hydraulic conductivity, sea level rise vulnerability and drain cross sections. The final outcomes of the prioritisation for the Tweed River floodplain with respect to acid and blackwater generation is also provided.

Purpose

The aims of the study were to develop and apply multi-criteria prioritisation methodologies to rank drainage subcatchments within NSW coastal floodplains by their contribution to acid and blackwater generation and discharge, to determine the subsequent risks to the estuarine waterways, and to guide the future management of coastal floodplains. The purpose of this prioritisation is to establish an evidence-based list of high priority subcatchments to be targeted for on-ground management actions or remediation. The Tweed River Floodplain Prioritisation Study was the application of the method on the Tweed River.
