Weekly Report 17 April 2019
River Murray Weekly Report For the week ending Wednesday, 17 April 2019 Trim Ref: D19/22129 Rainfall and inflows Conditions were dry across the Murray-Darling Basin this week, with almost the entire basin devoid of any rainfall (map 1). The Bureau of Meteorology (BoM) is forecasting negligible rain over the coming 8 days. Map 1. Murray-Darling Basin rainfall map week ending 17 April 2019 (Source: Bureau of Meteorology) Flow in the upper Murray tributaries continued to recede this week. The flow in the upper Mitta Mitta River at Hinnomunjie Bridge reduced from 210 ML/day to 180 ML/day. The upper Murray at Biggara eased from 240 ML/day to 220 ML/day. Downstream of Hume Reservoir, inflow from the Kiewa River at Bandiana receded from 380 ML/day, to the current flow of 240 ML/day. Flow in the Ovens River at Wangaratta averaged 240 ML/day. In the northern Basin, flows resulting from rain over some upper catchments in recent weeks are continuing to move steadily downstream along various tributaries. The most significant flows resulted from rain over the far north of the Basin that generated flood flows along the upper Warrego River. These flows are now moving through the lower Warrego and spreading out through the large distributary network, including along the Cuttaburra Channel that connects flow across to the Paroo River. These flows are recharging wetlands and providing welcome benefits to a fairly parched region of the northern Basin, but are expected to provide little if any significant connecting flow through to the Darling River.

What We Heard
Drought community consultation Fact sheet I What we heard Community Drought Consultation What we heard In February and March 2020, the NSW Department of Planning, Industry and Environment (the department) held a fourth series of meetings to discuss drought and water availability issues - this time in the Hunter and North Coast areas. The purpose of these meetings was to hear community views on how water should be managed in times of limited supplies and to provide advice on current water availability and water resource outlooks. At the North Coast meetings, with recent improvements in the water supply situation, discussions were about risks to water access during dry periods and how the NSW Government can further support communities through the next drought. The meetings were held in the Hunter, Richmond and Bellinger River valleys. Details of locations and groups represented at each meeting can be found at the end of this document. Key information provided at the meetings The meetings were run by an independent facilitator and the following information was provided: ● The department provided an update on the water security outlook and an overview of how the NSW Government manages extreme events; drought and poor water quality ● The department outlined the development of regional water strategies ● WaterNSW provided an overview of drought conditions state-wide and specific river valley drought management measures ● Local Land Services provided an overview of their role in drought, flood and fire recovery and managing livestock during difficult conditions. Copies of or links to the presentations from DPIE-Water and WaterNSW are available on the DPIE website: www.industry.nsw.gov.au/water/allocations-availability/droughts-floods/drought- update/information-sessions Issues that were raised at each of the public meetings are summarised below.

Dam Failure Warning and Evacuation Planning in New South Wales
DAM FAILURE WARNING AND EVACUATION PLANNING IN NEW SOUTH WALES: RECENT PROGRESS AND THE FORWARD PROGRAM Chas Keys State Planning Co-ordinator NSW State Emergency Service Planning for the kinds of floods which would follow the failure of large water storage dams is relatively new in Australia. In New South Wales it began in the late 1980s following the realisation, based on improved scientific comprehension of severe weather and flood events, that some dams had spillways which were incapable of safely passing very severe floods. For a time progress was slow as far as plan development was concerned but over the past year or two it has picked up significantly. Several plans, under preparation for a considerable length of time, have been completed to final draft stage and a number of new ones have been started. At the same time the ‘rules’ by which the planning is being done and on which responses to dam-failure would be based have been fine-tuned. Moreover, the shape of the future planning program and associated activities can be seen with increasing clarity. Until quite recently the State Emergency Service was, like most emergency management organisations in this country, much more oriented towards responding to emergencies than in preparing to respond to them. Planning, as a consequence, was not given a high priority and there were few trained planners appointed to the organisation and few resources allocated to them. Activities involving planning for floods were in their infancy and planning expertise was lacking. Accordingly, the organisation was not well placed to react quickly when, in the mid-1980s, the PMP/PMF revisions made it clear that several of the state’s major water storage dams had inadequate spillway capacities and were in a few cases quite dangerously underdesigned in terms of their security during significant flood events.
