What one Engineer thinks of the 2011 Brisbane River Flood

Writing to the Premier, this erudite Engineer states:

Brisbane Erudite Engineer

"With an illegitimate, less than optimal gate operating manual and a compromised reserve temporary flood storage

 

Flooding downstream of the dam was a debacle waiting to happen!!!

 

All that was required was a massive flood upon a full storage La Nina provided these!!!

The dreadful irony was that it was all unnecessary!!!

A proactive release strategy based upon trends in the dam water level was all that was necessary.

BURN THE MALEVOLENT MANUAL"

 

 

 

COMMENT:  This says it all.  Let's hope the proposed class action by Maurice Blackburn Lawyers in conjunction with IMF (Australia) will eventually get to the truth of the matter. 

Tomorrow is 700 days since the flood but truth will eventually conquer!  -  PaulGTully@gmail.com
