This study was initiated to assess and manage flood risks along the Lower Georges River floodplain downstream of its junction with the Woronora River. The study area includes the foreshores of Oyster Bay, Gwawley Bay and Woolooware Bay, but only flooding originating from the Georges River is considered. The study includes a climate change sensitivity test, assessing the potential impact of sea level rise and increased rainfall intensity on flood levels.

This volume provides a comprehensive perspective on geomorphic approaches to management of lowland alluvial rivers in North America and Europe. Many lowland rivers have been heavily managed for flood control and navigation for decades or centuries, resulting in engineered channels and embanked floodplains with substantially altered sediment loads and geomorphic processes. Over the past decade, floodplain management of many lowland rivers has taken on new importance because of concerns about the potential for global environmental change to alter floodplain processes, necessitating revised management strategies that minimize flood risk while enhancing environmental attributes of floodplains influenced by local embankments and upstream dams. Recognition of the failure of old perspectives on river management and the need to enhance environmental sustainability has stimulated a new approach to river management. The manner that river restoration and integrated management are implemented, however, requires a case study approach that takes into account the impact of historic human impacts to the system, especially engineering. The river basins examined in this volume provide a representative coverage of the drainage of North America and Europe, taking into account a range of climatic and physiographic provinces. They include the 1) Sacramento (California, USA), 2) San Joaquin (California), 3) Missouri (Missouri, USA), 4) Red (Manitoba, Canada and Minnesota, USA), 5) Mississippi (Louisiana, USA), 6) Kissimmee (Florida, USA), 7) Ebro (Spain), 8) Rhone (France), 9) Rhine (Netherlands), 10) Danube (Romania), and 11) Volga (Russian Federation) Rivers. The case studies covered in these chapters span a range of fluvial modes of adjustment, including sediment, channel, hydrologic regime, floodplains, as well as ecosystem and environmental associations.

"The magnitude of the flood problem on the Georges River became apparent, particularly for large floods greater than the 100-year event, during a floodplain management study on the Georges River undertaken by Bewsher Consulting for Liverpool, Fairfield, Bankstown and Sutherland Councils. Like some other river systems in New South Wales, there is limited scope to undertake structural works to solve the flood problem. An effective flood warning system and adequate response plans by emergency management personnel and the community are therefore of utmost importance"--Abstract.
