Introduction 1.1 Background The Commonwealth Environmental Water Holder (CEWH) is responsible under the Water Act 2007 (Cth) for managing Commonwealth environmental water holdings. The holdings must be managed to protect or restore the environmental assets of the Murray-Darling Basin, and other areas where the Commonwealth holds water, so as to give effect to relevant international agreements. The Basin Plan (2012) further requires that the holdings must be managed in a way that is consistent with the Basin Plan’s Environmental Watering Plan. The Water Act 2007 (Cth) and the Basin Plan also impose obligations to report on the contribution of Commonwealth environmental

  • Murray River Operations Report 07 March 2012
    RIVER MURRAY WEEKLY REPORT FOR THE WEEK ENDING WEDNESDAY, 07 MARCH 2012 Trim Ref: D12/8591 Rainfall and Inflows Further heavy rain across large areas of the Murray-Darling Basin this week (Map 1) has contributed to major flooding in areas of northern Victoria, and along parts of the Murrumbidgee, Macquarie, Lachlan and upper Murray Rivers. The rain also increased flows along reaches of the already flooded Darling River. Some of the highest rainfall totals during the week included 386 mm at Thredbo, 351 mm at Mount Buffalo, 299 mm at Burrinjuck Dam, 275 mm at Mt Ginini AWS, 247 mm at Grong Grong, 231 mm at Osbournes Flat, 210 mm at Wilcannia, 207 mm at Albury, 198 mm at Trunkey Creek, 166 mm at Chiltern, 164 mm at Parkes, 163 mm at Crookwell, 132 mm at Narromine and 123 mm at Bourke. Some of these locations had also recorded more than 100 mm in the previous week, for example 525 mm was recorded at Mount Buffalo from this event. Map 1 - Murray-Darling Basin rainfall for the week ending 7th March 2012 (Source: Bureau of Meteorology) On the upper Murray, the flow at Jingellic peaked above the major flood level at 132,000 ML/day, which has contributed to daily inflows to Hume Reservoir of more than 100,000 ML/day. At Hinnomunjie, on the Mitta Mitta River upstream of Dartmouth, the flow reached 14,500 ML/day and daily inflow to Dartmouth Reservoir exceeded 20,000 ML on a couple of days.
