From 4 February 2023 the MDBA will increase releases to manage airspace at Dartmouth Dam. Variable flows of up to 7,000 megalitres per day (ML/day) will be released into the Mitta Mitta River over the coming weeks. During this time flows will remain below the river capacity of 10,000 ML/day.
Please note system conditions may change over the coming days and weeks. Another flow advice will be issued as release requirements change.
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 higher river flows, please call the North-East Catchment Management Authority. They implement a riparian program in conjunction with the MDBA.
