    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.

The information contained in this report was considered by the ACT Heritage Council in assessing the nomination for the Corroboree Ground and Aboriginal Cultural Area, Queanbeyan River against the heritage significance criteria outlined in s 10 of the Heritage Act 2004. HISTORY The Ngunnawal people are traditionally affiliated with the lands within the Canberra region. In this citation, ‘Aboriginal community’ refers to the Ngunnawal people and other Aboriginal groups within the ACT who draw significance from the place. Whilst the term ‘Aboriginal community’ acknowledges these groups in the ACT, it is recognised that their traditional territories extend outside contemporary borders. These places attest to a rich history of Aboriginal connection to the area. Traditional Aboriginal society in Canberra during the nineteenth century suffered from dramatic depopulation and alienation from traditional land based resources, although some important social institutions like intertribal gatherings and corroborees were retained to a degree at least until the 1860s.

  • 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
    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.
