	Toowong Creek Catchment (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		A catchment area or basin is land which is bounded by natural features such as hills or mountains, from which all runoff water flows to a low point such as a creek, lake, river or bay.
		Large catchment areas are made up of many small sub-catchment areas which may be boarded by low hills and ridges and drained by only a small creek or gully.
		Catchment areas are vitally important to the water quality and the overall environmental health of an area.

		We identified two particular areas where GIS could be useful: catchment area delineation and the improvement of existing land use data.
		Catchment area delineation is an important component of water quality management.
		Our study also indicates that catchment areas in urban regions are significantly affected by storm sewer networks, especially when catchment areas are located on flat terrain.

		The Fundudzi catchment area is under increased pressure from increased population growth and shrinking natural resources mono-culture maize cultivation and subtropical orchard establishment.
		Areas that are not cultivated due to rocks or steepness are used as grazing areas for livestock during certain times of the year.
		It is therefore important that certain areas along the catchment areas are viewed as sensitive and should be rehabilitated to their natural state and preserved.

	Theory - Calculating Runoff - Catchment Shape
		The catchment is assumed to be represented by two idealized, rectangular inclined planes - one for the pervious surface and the second for the impervious fraction.
		This is equivalent to assuming that the overland flow lengths are in the same proportion as the areas of the two fractions, and is illustrated in Figure 7-10(b).
		If the catchment area is symmetrically distributed around the drainage network, an approximate value for the overland flow length can be found by dividing the area by twice the length of the drainage channel.

		The Brisbane River Catchment supports the largest population of any catchment in Queensland (in excess of one million), and being part of SE Queensland, is currently experiencing rapid population growth.
		The Brisbane River Catchment drains to Moreton Bay (1,523km2 in area), a shallow bay sheltered from the Pacific Ocean by the islands of Moreton and North Stradbroke to the east.

	Structure of the Tisza catchment area
		The area is divided in the middle by the Transsylvanian island range, to the east of which the Transsylvanian basin, to the west the the Great plane is situated.
		The reason of this is, that the catchment area of the Szamos, in consequence of being enclosed by high mountains, is much shorter of precipitation, than the spring region of the Tisza.
		The Tisza catchment area is poor in precipitation.

	4. Design model for catchment: Cultivated area ratio
		The amount of water harvested from the catchment area is a function of the amount of runoff created by the rainfall on the area.
		The catchment area must be approximately twice as large as the cultivated area.
		As a rule of thumb, for multipurpose trees in the arid/semi-arid regions, the size of the microcatchment per tree (catchment and cultivated area together) should range between 10 and 100 square metres, depending on the aridity of the area and the species grown.

		The catchment area of a pharmacy is generally considered to be one in which the population would naturally and reasonably gravitate toward the pharmacy.
		It should be noted that in areas where there is one or more existing pharmacies, the catchment area of a proposed pharmacy is likely to overlap, to some degree, with those of the existing pharmacies.
		This population must be a residential population and must be present in the catchment area for most of the year.

		This catchment is predominantly used to rear livestock with approximately 70% of the agricultural land being improved grassland used for the intensive and extensive grazing of dairy and beef cattle and sheep.
		Poultry is significant in certain areas of the catchment with Dunlop having 86% of the total numbers, most likely concentrated in a few medium scale intensive units.
		However, this obscures the fact that approximately 45% of the ewe flock and 42% of the total sheep flock of the catchment are in Straiton, in the east of the catchment where hill farms predominate on poor quality rough grazing.

		The river catchment areas, which are largely influenced by local topography and amount of precipitation, very largely showing an indelible impact upon the drainage system.
		In the absence of any formidable mountain barrier in the state and the low quantum of annual rainfall, the river catchment area are mostly small.
		The flat, rugged and undulating rolling land of the low hills and plateaus, which are the origins of the rivers and streams, are highly dissected and devoid of deep channels to add stream density and so the catchments are of low stream density.
