Burdekin River Discharge Behaviour

The following graphs illustrate the discharge behaviour of the Burdekin River during the period under consideration (1966-1995). Note that a water year for 1972 denotes the period July 1, 1971 to June 30, 1972.
 
 

 

The years under consideration ranked according to discharge and maximum flow rate are shown in the table below.
 
 
Return periods and Annual Exceedence Probabilities (AEP %) calculated for the total volume of freshwater discharged by the Burdekin River for the last 47 water years are shown in the table below.
