Raising the storage and raising the flood mitigation are 2 completely separate senarios increasing storage would devastate wereas flood mitigation may innundate for very short periods from a few hours to maybe a week with aprobability of 1 in 100+ years .
Eppalock on the campapse held back 125% of its capacity for a week or so a few years ago . The water banks up to flow over a spillway and is totally controlled by inflows and the ability to exit the spillway. Lake Eildon has recently been up graded to the new standards its capacity is 3.3 Million ML but is designed to hold another 14.1 metres of water which is 1.9 Million ML if it doesnt flood anymore area in reallity probably 2.5 Ml or 70+ % of capacity . the comparison to Arapiles is nonsense .
The problem HAS TO BE addressed as huge suburban development is already impacted by foods with continuous new development and the new standards would throw liability back on the government if the upgrades arent carried out .
