Landholders and river users, including pumpers, on the Mitta Mitta River are advised to take into account the forecast releases of water from Dartmouth Dam and make any necessary adjustment to their river activities.
The release from Dartmouth Dam will increase, starting at 8:00 am on Thursday 23 January 2025, to reach a flow of approximately 1,500 megalitres per day (ML/day) (measured at Colemans gauge).
All changes will be within the appropriate rates of rise and fall.
Please note system conditions may change. Another flow advice will be issued as release requirements change from those listed.
Check the Bureau of Meteorology to receive the latest weather information including warnings, river conditions and rainfall in your area:
Landholders and river users on the Mitta Mitta are advised to regularly check the current flows and forecasts on the MDBA website for more information on releases from Dartmouth Dam. Summary information about the River Murray system is available in the River Murray weekly report.
If you are observing bank erosion around key assets on your property, as a result of the river flows, please call the North-East Catchment Management Authority. They implement a riparian program in conjunction with the MDBA.
