Operations update Low River Levels Forecast in Murrumbidgee River 27 February 2020 We are advising customers and community that river levels in the Murrumbidgee are forecast to remain low for the rest of the season. Due to low water demand and IVT call by MDBA from Murrumbidgee Valley is ending the water level below Gogeldrie Weir is likely to remain very low. The release from Blowering Dam is likely to remain about 2,000 to 3,000ML/day, which is subject to change due to rainfall in the irrigation area. The release from Burrinjuck Dam is likely to remain between 300 and 615 ML/day to manage the riverine environment below the dam as per the Water Sharing Plan rules. The low river levels at Wagga Wagga and Darlington Point would result in very low stream levels in the Beavers-Old Man Creek system and Uri Creek, respectively. The aim is to conserve water and minimise operational losses while maximising the use of water stored in the Hay, Maude and Redbank weirs to meet the existing system demand including end of system flows at Balranald. Under dry conditions as part of the drought measures, Berembed and Bundidgerry weir would be maintained at about 3.8m with a marginal airspace with the irrigation demand by Murrumbidgee Irrigation being relatively steady. Tombullen Weir has been fully drained and would only be utilised to capture any system surplus. The flow below Gogeldrie Weir is likely to remain between 500 and 1,500 ML/day. Gogeldrie Weir would be managed at about 5.9m for recreation usage during second week of March and then drawn down to about 5.5m or less. Hay weir levels are forecast to gradually reduce to the targeted level of around 6.5m to support the town water supply. However, the levels in the Hay Weir may vary due to varying system demands both upstream and downstream of the weir. Maude and Redbank Weirs would be gradually lowered to about 2.5m to provide airspace in the lower end of the system. The minimum levels in the weirs are being targeted to avoid system spills during autumn / early winter and to facilitate annual maintenance activities of all re-regulation weirs. However, WaterNSW operations would try and provide enough river height upstream of Gogeldrie and Hay WaterNSW ABN 21 147 934 787 169 Macquarie Street Parramatta NSW 2150 PO Box 398, Parramatta NSW 2124 T 1300 662 077 E [email protected] waternsw.com.au Weirs for recreational activities during Easter holiday season, without compromising the water security in the valley. We further advise customers and landholders to monitor river levels closely and to make necessary arrangements to ensure infrastructure and livestock are not impacted by the low river levels.

The majority of these were timber structures, with the occasional use of stone piers. The first bridge constructed in NSW was built in 1788. The bridge was a simple timber bridge constructed over the Tank Stream, near what is today the intersection of George and Bridge Streets in the Central Business District of Sydney. Soon after it was washed away and needed to be replaced. The first "permanent" bridge in NSW was this bridge's successor. This was a masonry and timber arch bridge with a span of 24 feet erected in 1803 (Figure 1.1). However this was not a triumph of colonial bridge engineering, as it collapsed after only three years' service. It took a further five years for the bridge to be rebuilt in an improved form. The contractor who undertook this work received payment of 660 gallons of spirits, this being an alternative currency in the Colony at the time (Main Roads, 1950: 37) Figure 1.1 “View of Sydney from The Rocks, 1803”, by John Lancashire (Dixson Galleries, SLNSW).

The effects of salinity were first identified at the Wagga Wagga Showground in the late 1970s where grass was dying off and despite encouragement the grass would not return. The cause of this dieback was not determined until 1994 where after extensive testing and research it was determined that the area was suffering from the effects of urban salinity.

Assisting New White Lupin Processing Industries by Breeding Larger- and Smaller-Seeded Cultivars
ASSISTING NEW WHITE LUPIN PROCESSING INDUSTRIES BY BREEDING LARGER- AND SMALLER-SEEDED CULTIVARS R.N. Oram1 and K.F. Landers2 1 CSIRO Plant Industry, Canberra, ACT. 2601 2 Formerly NSW Agriculture, Agricultural Research Institute, Wagga Wagga, NSW (now Westbury, Tasmania 7303) Abstract Two cultivars of white lupin with smaller (Minibean) or larger (Maxi) than normal seeds have been developed in a 25-year program of crossing, selection, induced mutagenesis and field testing. Over 90% of the seeds of Minibean are less than 10 mm in minimum diameter whereas 55% of the seeds of Maxi are larger than 10 mm in diameter. Both cultivars flower in mid-season, but mature late, especially Maxi, which requires a cool, moist late spring and early summer to maximise seed size. Maxi produces large seeds which attract a premium as food in Middle Eastern countries. The smaller seeds of Minibean are better suited to sowing and harvesting with standard cereal machinery, and give higher plant densities, and hence higher yield potential, at standard sowing rates. The grain is aimed at on-farm, feed-lot finishing of stock, and as split grains and flour in various foods and feeds. Key words: Lupinus albus, white lupin, large-seeded, small-seeded, new cultivars, food. The Mediterranean white lupin has been cultivated in parts of WA, NSW, and Victoria since the release of the late-maturing cultivar, Hamburg, and the early maturing cultivars Ultra and Kiev Mutant (1, 2, 3), to provide, initially, a high-protein stock feed supplement (5), and, more recently, a new source of a traditional, nutritious food for Middle Eastern people.

Take a Day Trip and Get Wet Or Wild
Lake Talbot Swimming Complex TAKE A DAY TRIP AND GET WET OR WILD Credit: Narrandera Shire Council RIVERINA, NSW You don’t have to travel far to get the holiday vibe going this summer. You can entertain the kids and escape the ordinary with day trip adventures to Narrandera, Leeton and Darlington Point. The “coolest” place to be this summer is Narrandera (www.narrandera.com.au). It’s got all the water fun that anyone could ask for and it’s only an hour drive from Wagga Wagga. First up is Lake Talbot, only 1.5 kilometres from the centre of town, and home to a huge outdoor swimming complex and also the perfect lake for water skiing, canoeing or boating. Lake Talbot Aquatic Park boasts four swimming pools, terraced lawns, shady trees, a kiosk, barbeques and two exhilarating water slides. It is open every day from November through to Easter except Christmas Day. The Rocky Waterholes area, just off the Old Wagga Road, is another great place to stay cool in the shade of river red gums. The reinstated Rocky Waterholes Bridge links public reserve areas north and south of the Bundidgerry Creek and these spots are great for picnics, fishing and canoeing. Narrandera also has some of the best access points to the Murrumbidgee River including Brewery Flat which is just off the Newell Highway and Town Beach on August Street. In Leeton, just a half hour drive from Narrandera, your day trip can turn to wildlife at Fivebough Wetlands (www.fiveboughwetlands.org.au). Just two kilometres from the centre of town, Fivebough is 350 hectares of internationally recognised and protected wetlands.
