camdenhistorynotes5 Comments

The Nepean River's 'bathtub effect' refers to the unique flooding impact created by the river's landform. The Hawkesbury-Nepean River's four gorges result in localized floodplains, causing a 'bathtub effect' during periods of high rainfall. These characteristics make the area susceptible to significant flood risk, impacting local communities.
