Natural Hazards - Flooding
Australia is the driest inhabited continent on Earth
When it does rain, or storm, it’s often too much for the river systems and catchments
A flood is caused when water inundates land which should normally be dry
There are two types of river systems in Australia;
Inland Rivers: Are rivers that flood overlarge areas, for long periods of time, such as weeks possibly months
Coastal Rivers: Are small rivers that flood for short periods of time, such as days, possibly weeks.
Heading: The Hunter Flood, NSW 2015
