River Murray news

An updated forecast released today by the State Government shows that River Murray flows of up to 135 gigalitres per day is now expected by early December, up from last week’s forecast of 120 GL per day.

New inundation maps and a comprehensive list of frequently asked questions have been created as part of dedicated webpage on the highest River Murray flows in almost 50 years.

The Department for Environment and Water (DEW) has sent a team of engineers and flood planners to the Riverland to ensure communities are afforded the best possible protection from high flows heading to South Australia.

Riverland locals and nature lovers are encouraged to have their say on a revised management plan for the popular Murray River National Park.

River Murray flows into South Australia are currently exceeding 50,000 megalitres per day for the first time since December 2016
