Please note system conditions may change over the coming days. Another flow advice will be issued as release requirements change.

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.
