Walumeda Catchment Map
Rainwater from our roofs, gardens, driveways and streets doesn’t just disappear—it flows through drains, pipes, natural channels, and bushland, to Berowra Creek. This map shows the main water flow routes through the Walumeda Catchment, starting at Thompsons Corner and ending at the Walumeda Wetland.
