There have been numerous floods in Australia's history which have caused untold devastation to lives and property. Not all are mentioned below.
The floods moved down the Macquarie River to Dubbo, causing the evacuation of another 4000, and as far west as Warren and Narromine. When the Namoi and Gwydir Rivers flooded, this devastated the towns of Moree and Narrabri. These floods killed 25.
In the 2011 flood in Australia, 22 people died.
7 million homes were destroyed. 25 million were made homeless.
Many countries are affected by water-related issues such as floods, droughts, pollution, and scarcity. Some examples include Bangladesh (floods), Australia (droughts), India (water pollution), and South Africa (water scarcity).
If this is a reference to the January 2011 floods in eastern Australia, the death toll stands at 22, as of January 31.During Australia's history of European settlement, hundreds of people have died in Australia because of floods, but the figures have not been anywhere as high as in some parts of the world.
Three major types of floods include: * Slow onset floods - these occur gradually after there has been significant rain in a catchment area. Often, towns have plenty of warning that such floods are coming, and have the time to create levee banks for protection. Charleville, in western Queensland, is prone to slow onset floods as the waters flow down the Warrego River from further upstream, where heavy rain has fallen. The water takes days or even weeks to go down. * Fast onset floods - these are also caused by heavy monsoonal rains, but water comes up more quickly, often trapping motorists trying to cross swollen rivers and isolating towns quickly, then just as quickly subsiding. * Flash floods - usually caused by thunderstorms and sudden downpours. these fill rivers and drains quickly, sweeping away people who try to cross. Flash floods subside very quickly.
There are many people who would describe floods as devastating. Still others would describe them as useful and incredibly fun.

There has been just one flash flood in Australia in 2011. This wave, which came down a mountainside from the city of Toowoomba at the top of the range, reached heights of 8 metres, according to witnesses. The remainder of the floods have been slow-onset floods, quite different to flash floods. They have varied in depth from a few millimetres to many metres deep - deep enough to engulf two-storey homes.
