Wivenhoe Dam's dual roles

Comments on Andrew Dragun “Far too much water left in the dam”, 19/01/2011, http://www.theaustralian.com.au/news/opinion/far-too-much-water-left-in-the-dam/story-e6frg6zo-1225990589929

The question is whether some Brisbane residents or property owners who have been flooded will take legal action against the dam management authority and the State government for their failures for their duties in managing the dam for flood and prevention and control.

They may have a case.

But seriously, how did the modelling of the dam management perform in this recent flood? How long is their modelling horizon? How was it prepared for likely flooding? How was judgement exercised by the relevant people in charge?

There are indeed lessons to be learnt.
