Wentworth Shire
The NSW Government flush of 45-50 GL from the upper Menindee Lakes through the lower Darling River commenced on 29 May to help clear the current infestation of blue-green algae impacting local communities.
Discharge at the Darling River at Weir 32 and Great Darling Anabranch offtake gauging stations is increasing. No increase in flow at Pooncarie as yet.
Community assistance required
In addition to river water quality monitoring, DCCEEW are requesting daily images from landowners along the Darling River over the next three week period to assist with confirming the effectiveness of the flush trial and aid in the reporting of daily water quality testing.
