A brief increase in release is planned for mid to late April to benefit water quality in the Mitta Mitta River downstream of Dartmouth Dam.
The information in the table below assumes dry conditions, with little or no rainfall for the period. The releases from Dartmouth Dam may vary from those forecast and flows on the Mitta Mitta may increase at any time if rain falls in the catchment downstream of the dam.
