Abstract
ACRES acquired SPOT 2 satellite images over the Namoi River, between the towns of Walgett and Wee Waa in December 1997 and November 2000. The November 2000 image consists of 12 scenes in which floodwaters, peaking at 8 metres, inundating the region are visible as green and light blue. Extensive flooding is evident. The December 1997 image shows the area of the Namoi River without floodwaters. The Namoi River catchment area is more than 350 kilometres long and stretches from Walcha in the east to Walgett in the west. Other river systems in the region include the Gwydir, Castlereagh, Hunter, Macquarie, Macleay, Manning, Culgoa and Condamine. You can find these rivers on Geoscience Australia's interactive Map of Australia.
