Flows in the River Murray System vary widely depending on a range of factors, including rainfall, inflows, evaporation, and demands for water from all users.
At any given time, water flowing through the river is destined for various uses, including irrigation, industry, communities, the environment, and meeting South Australia’s flow entitlement.
The exact mix of these flow components is determined by a number of factors including demand and water availability.
Each month we provide an update showing flows in the River Murray System including the total volume of water flowing for consumptive use and to care for the environment. The report also outlines the intended environmental outcomes.
