Submission to the Victorian Flood Inquiry
|
7p. |
5 June 2023 |
In response
to disastrous floods on the Campaspe River that destroyed Rochester in
2011 and Sep 2022, it is essential to redesign the two spillways at
Lake Eppalock with gates ... and to re-write the rules for reservoirs
so that in wet times, 10% air space is maintained in storages to cope with flood
surges from large rain events.
The
document has many explanatory graphics to bring the layman up to speed
with this proposal that may eliminate future catastrophic floods out of
Lake Eppalock.

Global
temperatures will rise briefly until 2017 when a rapid cooling will set
in, due to the combined influences of the 18.6 year lunar cycle and the
Bicentennial Solar Minimum sunspot cycle. |

Australia
is
sliding into a mega-drought period that may span decades. This is part
of a cycle of sun-spot activity and global climate similar to the dry
period that was just ending when Captain Cook arrived in Australia.
Evidence of tree stumps in northern Victorian swamps shows we have had
mega-droughts in recent history. |

In
each lunar
cycle of 355 days, there are distinct "air tide phases" which can
greatly affect the rainfall levels across Australia's Murray Darling
Basin. Kevin explains these air tide phases and the scheduled peaks for
the coming years. |

This trend has been ignored in the Plan. Kevin outlines the impact on
irrigation systems we can expect in coming years. |

claims of alleged water yield, enormous capital costs and environmental
safety concerns. A Royal Commission into the projects is recommended
and outlined. Includes detailed Appendix of data tables and volume
calculations. Co-authored by Kevin Long and Chris
