    River Murray Weekly Report For the week ending Wednesday, 20 February 2019 Trim Ref: D19 8405 Rainfall and inflows There was little to no rainfall across the Murray-Darling Basin this week, with only small patches of light rainfall recorded in New South Wales and Queensland (Map 1). Map 1 - Murray-Darling Basin rainfall map week ending 20 February 2019 (Source: Bureau of Meteorology). In comparison to the previous week where tributaries increased with widespread rainfall, most upper Murray tributaries have receded with dry conditions this week. The flow in the upper Mitta Mitta River at Hinnomunjie fell from 190 ML/day to the current flow near 140 ML/day; likewise the upper Murray at Biggara eased from 160 to 100 ML/day. Downstream of Hume Reservoir, inflow from the Kiewa River at Bandiana averaged 210 ML/day, while the Ovens River flow reduced from 340 ML/day to 240 ML/day through the week at Wangaratta.

  • River Murray Operations Weekly Report 18 September 2013
    RIVER MURRAY WEEKLY REPORT FOR THE WEEK ENDING WEDNESDAY, 18 SEPTEMBER 2013 Trim Ref: D13/34448 Rainfall and Inflows Wetter conditions returned to the Murray-Darling Basin this week with rainfall recorded throughout almost the entire basin. Most of this rain fell during 17-18 September. Weekly rainfall totals were highest in southern NSW and the ACT, mostly in the Murrumbidgee River catchment, with 130 mm recorded at Mt Ginini and 105 mm at Tuggeranong. There were also high totals in central NSW, with 83 mm recorded at Dubbo in the Macquarie River catchment. In Victoria, the highest rainfalls included 69 mm at Lima East in the Broken River catchment, 64 mm at Yackandandah in the Ovens River catchment, 60 mm at Myrrhee in the King River catchment, and 60 mm at Hunters Hill in the upper River Murray catchment. Streamflow responses in the upper Murray were limited due to the relatively dry state of the catchments prior to the rain. Upstream of Dartmouth Reservoir, the flow in the Mitta Mitta River at Hinnomunjie Bridge increased from 1,400 to 4,000 ML/day, while upstream of Hume Reservoir, the flow at Biggara increased from 1,500 to 3,500 ML/day. At Bringenbrong on the River Murray, upstream of Hume Reservoir and downstream of the confluence with the Swampy Plain River, the flow has increased from 4,500 ML/day to about 13,500 ML/day, which includes releases from the Snowy Hydro scheme. On the Ovens River, the flow at Rocky Point has risen from 3,100 Ml/day to a peak of 5,700 ML/day.

    Full Paper Pope and Nolan – An assessment of the severity of Cold Water Pollution below Khancoban Dam Data versus Desktop: An assessment of the severity of Cold Water Pollution in the Swampy Plains and Murray Rivers below Khancoban Dam Pope E1 and Nolan A2 1. Snowy Hydro Limited, Cooma NSW 2630. Email: [email protected] 2. Snowy Hydro Limited, Cooma NSW 2630. Email: [email protected] Key Points Cold Water Pollution occurs downstream of Khancoban Dam but effects are not as severe or persistent as expected on the basis of the original desktop study Summer suppression is evident but winter elevation, annual amplitude reduction, seasonal displacement and impacts to diel variation are very minor Causes of cold water releases appear to be a combination of reservoir stratification and releases from Murray 2 Power station with releases from the power station being the dominant cause The presence of Khancoban Reservoir appears to be having a minor impact on the percentage of time that breeding temperature thresholds are exceeded during the breeding seasons of a number of native fish expected to occur in the Swampy Plains and Murray Rivers. Abstract In 2004, Khancoban Dam was listed as one of 9 Dams in NSW considered to cause severe cold water pollution on the basis of a desktop study. This study, based on 5 years of field data, demonstrates that cold water releases do occur from Khancoban but that these events are not as severe or prolonged as expected. On average, there is a difference in temperature of only -2.2°C between monitoring points upstream and downstream of Khancoban Dam during summer.

  • Rates of Bank Erosion Under Natural and Regulated Flows in the Upper
    Full Paper Simon et.al. –Upper Murray River System Bank Erosion: Natural and Regulated Flows Rates of Bank Erosion under Natural and Regulated Flows in the Upper Murray River System: Khancoban Dam to Jingellic 1 2 3 4 Simon A , Hammond J , Artita K and Pope E 1 Cardno, PO Box 1236, Oxford, MS 38655, USA. [email protected] 2 Cardno, 312 Mansfield Rd, Fayston, VT 05673, USA. [email protected] 3 Cardno, Clemson, SC 29631, USA. [email protected] 4 Snowy Hydro, PO Box 332, Cooma, NSW 2630 AUS. [email protected] Key Points Regulation has caused important changes in the hydrologic regime of the Swampy Plain and Upper Murray Rivers in the reaches closest to Khancoban Dam. Field data on resistance of the banks was used in combination with BSTEM‐Dynamic to simulate bank erosion for unregulated and regulated conditions using a 32‐year time series of hourly flows. Regulation has led to changes in bank‐erosion rates with increases in the reaches closest to the dam and decreases in the reaches farthest downstream, the former related to greater flow durations that exceed erosion thresholds Abstract The Snowy Mountains Scheme provides for inter‐basin transfers of water and for hydro‐electric power generation in the upper reaches of the Murray River System. Since 1966, the magnitude, frequency and duration of discharges in the Swampy Plain and Upper Murray Rivers have been modified by the Scheme. Increases in mean‐annual flows following regulation were determined to be 127% in the upstream‐most reach on the Swampy Plain River, 68% above the confluence with the Tooma River and 16‐19% downstream at Jingellic.

  • Geehi Flats Is a Large Area of Flat Floodplain on the Banks of the Swampy Plains River
    Geehi Geehi Flats is a large area of flat floodplain on the banks of the Swampy Plains River. Located within Kosciuszko National Park, it is home to a popular campsite in summer for people wanting to enjoy the river and access the many nature-based experiences in the area. The flats are a popular starting point for people walking up Hannels Spur to the main range, as well as those wanting to wander through the flats, exploring the walks described in the chapter. In the 1900s, Geehi Flats was used for grazing cattle when, in 1929, the Nankervis family acquired 1560 acres of land along the Swampy Plains River for grazing. In 1959, the Snow Mountains Authority built a landing strip here on land leased from the Nankervis family, to support the thousands of people living and working in the area to build the Snowy scheme. In 1960, the area became part of the Kosciuszko State Park and since then, the National Park. Kangaroo at Behrs Flat Keebles Hut’s old kitchen 57 Out and about at Geehi Fishing The Swampy Plains River is host to many Brown and Rainbow Trout around 1kg in size. This is a ‘blue ribbon stream’, meaning that fishing is by artificial fly and lure only, with a bag limit of two fish per day. A fishing licence is required. Visit www.dpi. nsw.gov.au/fisheries/recreational. 4WD There are a number of four wheel driving trails in the area. The walks in this chapter follow some of these trails. The Geehi Walls Trail also provides access to the old Geehi Hut area and links to Major Clews hut and trail.
