Murray Bursting with Life
South Australia has received its best Murray River flows since 1993 and they are delivering important environmental incomes, including the refilling of the Lower Lakes for the first time in four years.
After a long period of drought, Murray flows to South Australia began rising late last year and reached a peak of almost 94,000 ML/day in mid-February 2011. Boosted by rain and flooding in New South Wales and Victoria, the flows have provided a welcome flushing for the river and wetlands.
The Department for Water’s weekly Flow Advice Update is available on the Water for Good website and details the latest information on flows, expected peaks and any safety advice.
