1925 Flood Catchment and Sluice Challenges Across NSW Rivers
Historical report outlines the 1922 and 1925 flood events in the Murrumbidgee region, detailing catchment sizes from 6 030 to 89 square miles, major tributaries, and spillway dimensions. It notes cyclonic storm influence, sluice closures, and the spillway design revisions aiming to handle up to 230 000 cusecs, yet proving inadequate during May 1925 floods. It also mentions a 1927 mortgage dispute at Erigolia where farmers resisted foreclosure, compelling the matter toward legal defense.
