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 Tuesday 7 January 2025, to reach a flow of approximately 2,600 ML/day.

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.
