NSW SES Equipment and Livestock Warning 2 - Murrumbidgee River
Minor | Flood WatchMurrumbidgee River
What is happening?
Recent Rainfall and high river levels combined with increased flows from the dams may result in high river rises upstream of Wagga Wagga, that could impact low lying areas adjacent to the river.
Water NSW has advised flow increases from Burrinjuck and Blowering Dams.
Flooding may affect low-lying areas and local roads near rivers and creeks. At this stage flood levels should remain below the minor flood level; however, this will continue to be monitored and the Bureau of Meteorology will issue Flood Warnings if higher levels are possible.
NSW SES will continue to monitor the situation.
What we are expecting:
We are expecting high river levels for the next couple of weeks as dam releases occur. As a result, it is likely that low-lying paddocks along the riverbanks will see a pattern of rising and falling water levels.
What you need to do:
- Monitor the latest weather forecasts and warnings and be ready to move to higher ground should flooding develop.
- Farmers move livestock, pumps and equipment away from flood-prone paddocks.
Flood Warnings will be issued if Minor Flood Level is expected to be exceeded at key sites along the main rivers for which the Bureau of Meteorology provides a flood warning service
