A catchment is an area of land where water collects when it rains, often bounded by hills. As the water flows over the landscape it finds its way into streams and down into the soil, eventually feeding the river.Some of this water stays underground and continues to slowly feed the river in times of low rainfall.very inch of land on the Earth forms part of a catchment. Catchments can range greatly in size from small urban sub-catchments such as Prospect Creek that feeds part of the larger Georges River Catchment, to massive catchments such as the Murray-Darling Basin that spans three states.
What is a Catchment? A catchment is an area of land, bound by hills or mountains from which all runoff water flows to the same low point, such as a lake, dam, river, estuary or lagoon where it enters the ocean. Rainwater will flow to this lowest point, via creeks, rivers and stormwater systems. Our catchments are grouped based on current ecological values and catchment land uses: Group A: very high ecological value. Group B: some degradation in the upper catchments, but high ecological value downstream.
