Operations update Split Rock Dam Releases Upper Namoi 27 March 2020 Update on Releases from Split Rock Dam WaterNSW is advising customers and stakeholders that releases from Split Rock Dam will recommence from Monday 30 March 2020. The recent inflows into Split Rock Dam have increased the total storage volume to over 19,000 ML. Releases will be used to supply water orders in the Manilla River from Split Rock Dam to the junction with the Namoi River. For customers located on the Namoi River (below Manilla), water orders will be supplied (were possible) using the inflows from the Namoi Unregulated River. Customers wishing to take water from their high security, general security or stock and domestic licences are reminded to place an order for their water. Planning Water Releases WaterNSW would like to ensure that water releases are undertaken in the most efficient manner possible as this helps to extend the longevity of supply. To assist WaterNSW with planning water releases, customers with available carryover water are encouraged to email their future planned water orders to [email protected]. In the email, please indicate the following information: • Name, contact details and licence number/s • River section – above or below Manilla • Approximate weekly demand through to the end of June 2020 • If pulse releases and intermittent supply will suit your needs, please indicate the maximum duration between taking water and any other relevant information that will help us understand your water needs.

Submission: Inquiry Into Climate Change and the Australian
SENATE ENQUIRY: RESEARCH INFORMATION & CONCLUSIONS 1. Murray Darling Basin Commission (MDBC) Media Releases I have been analysing the Commission’s Weekly Reports since June 2007 and I’ve come to the following conclusions re the lack of environmental vision and priorities of the MDB Commission. MDB Inflows/Storage Levels When the MDBC says that “MDB inflows for June 2008 were 95 GL” most people hearing this figure wouldn’t know that this inflow figure was generated from only a small part of the huge Murray Darling Basin catchment. For example, any diagram in the MDBC Weekly Reports showing ‘Murray System Inflows’ always states that the figures do not include Snowy Scheme or Darling River inflows. Yes whilst it is true that inflows for the specific part of the MDB catchment that the MDBC has control over were a record low for this June, the actual figure for the whole of the Murray Darling Basin would’ve been considerably higher. Furthermore, the Snowy inflows should also be added into any report on monthly inflows as they are actually part of the Murray and Murrumbidgee’s flows. My take on this selective reporting of inflows is that it conveniently allows the MDBC to justify not allowing emergency environmental flows for the Lower Lakes & Coorong because “MDB inflows were only 95 GL in June”. My view is that the term ‘MDB Inflows’ should be called ‘MDB Commission Inflows’ and should not be confused with what would be the much larger figure of ‘Total MDB Inflows’. Furthermore, there should be a public education campaign to explain the difference between the two – specifically the actual percentage of the total MDB catchment the ‘MDB inflows’ applies to, plus a comparison between the median annual inflows for the Total MDB and the median annual inflows of the much smaller MDB Commission section of the catchment.
