Abstract

Summary Information extracted from 0.5 x 0.5 km cells on maps depicting floodings since 1963 in a red gum forest near Barmah, Victoria, were combined with historical records of water flow in the River Murray to prepare maps showing some characteristics of the floods occurring in the forest from 1895 to 1984 inclusive. Characteristics estimated included the distributions of frequency, duration of flooding, and duration of periods between flooding.
