Maribyrnong River Flood Model
Melbourne Water has developed new flood models to better understand current and future flood information in the Maribyrnong River region.
How our drainage system works
When it rains, some water seeps into the ground. Our drainage system directs the rest into rivers, creeks, and eventually the bay to prevent it from flowing into low-lying areas.
Let's make litter extinct
