Deniliquin & District Flood Watch 2022

19/11/2022

Do not buy into the "Climate Change" scare mongering, the floods will only be more severe because they have changed the operating procedures of our dams. Look at Hume dam and the "Airspace" rules, calculated from the "lowest sequence inflows" only.. there is a great article from the PT in the pinned posts that almost foretold of catastrophic floods through dam mismanagement.

These policies are dangerous to life as we've found out this year, they are dangerous to property and in dry years they ensure water scarcity which means those with financial interests in water trading make financial gains while our food security is compromised because farmers struggle to buy water for crops.

They have hijacked the "science" of our water ways. This faulty science being used to control our water infrastructure will result in more frequent floods in normal wet cycles like now.

SATURDAY 19TH NOVEMBER HELP REQUIRED
We appreciate all that the community has done for us in the past month. This is our last call for help, before we brace for the peak.

We have received more sandbags from the Rice Mill and will be sandbagging from 8AM on Saturday.

Come into the park by foot through the back gate, meeting at the first amenity block from the back gate. No unnecessary vehicles in the park please.

Please BYO shovels, water bottles, hats - we suggest gumboots as well. We ask that no pets or young children attend due to safety requirements as there is heavy machinery moving around.

Send out immense thanks in advance to our wonderful community for helping us try to save our Park.

18/11/2022

Urgent!
Callout for volunteers at Riverside caravan. We are needing people with cars and trailers to help pack and move park gear to safety from the park.
Also requiring the services of a builder to remove verandahs and some decking so that the cabins can be craned out in the morning.
Many hands helping will be wonderful . Thanks

We are needing some muscles to help load trailers at Riverside Caravan park if people have 1/2 an hour spare

Minor to Major Flood Warning for the Murray and Edward Rivers

Issued at 4:51 pm EDT on Wednesday 16 November 2022

Flood Warning Number: 108

MAJOR FLOODING HIGHER THAN THE 1975 FLOOD OCCURRING AT WAKOOL JUNCTION AND POSSIBLE AT BOUNDARY BEND AND MILDURA

MAJOR FLOODING POSSIBLE ALONG THE EDWARD RIVER AT DENILIQUIN, STEVENS WEIR AND MOULAMEIN

Rainfall over the past several weeks has caused renewed and prolonged flooding along the Murray and Edward Rivers and their tributaries.

Along the Murray River moderate flooding is occurring at Alburyand Corowa. At Yarrawonga, river levels are steady near a peak just below the major flood level. Major flooding is possible at Tocumwal from Thursday as this flood peak arrives.

The flood peak at Yarrowonga may cause major flooding along the Edward River at Deniliquin and Stevens Weir from late next week onwards. Downstream at Moulamein, renewed rises from the Edward River are combining with rises from the Billabong Creek, which are likely to cause major flooding from around Friday. Further rises above the major flood level are likely at Moulamein into the weekend and early next week.

Moderate flooding is occurring at Echuca and Moama, where river levels continue to slowly recede. At Torrumbarry, river levels are expected to remain above the major flood level through to the end of the week. At Barham, major flooding is likely to continue through to around Monday next week. At Swan Hill, local rainfall since Saturday caused some renewed river level rises and the river level may remain near the moderate flood level through to early next week.

Significant breakout flows from Torrumbarry have spilled into the Wakool River, where river levels have peaked at Stoney Crossing. These flows, combined with floodwaters from the Murray and Edward Rivers, have caused major flooding higher than the 1975 flood at Wakool Junction, where the river level peaked around Monday. As this peak travels downstream, major flooding higher than the 1975 flood may occur at Boundary Bend and Mildura. Major flooding is possible at Euston and Wentworth, with peaks arriving towards the end of the month.

Forecasts will be progressively refined once upstream flood peaks along the Murray River and its tributaries are observed.

Flood operations are being conducted by the Murray-Darling Basin Authority (MDBA) at Hume Dam and Lake Mulwala to manage inflows from the upper Murray, Mitta Mitta River, Ovens River and other tributaries. MDBA are working closely with the Bureau and WaterNSW to plan release strategies.

Murray River downstream of Hume Dam to Tocumwal:

You have to wonder what these people are paid for, in Mid October the BOM'S models were showing a short lived La Nina likely to peak in November. This was a dangerous prediction that was short lived!
By the 25th they start catching up to other long range forecasters saying not a chance...🤦🤦🤦 They are now seeing it peak by March next year? (What a difference a week and a half makes)!!!

Where do they get these people from?

Something needs to change at the BOM.. might be time to flush out some of the deadwood with this flood water!

Flood Warning Number: 81
MAJOR FLOODING AT ECHUCA AND MOAMA TO PEAK AROUND THE CURRENT LEVEL (94.90 METRES AHD) DURING TUESDAY, HIGHER THAN THE 1975 AND 1993 FLOODS
Floodwaters from the Campaspe and Goulburn Rivers combined with flows down the Murray River have caused major flooding at Echuca and Moama. River levels at Echuca Wharf have exceeded the October 1993 (94.77 m AHD) and November 1975 (94.80 m AHD) floods, and may peak slightly below 95.00 metres AHD during Tuesday, with major flooding.
As this flood peak extends downstream, it is likely to exacerbate the current major flooding at Torrumbarry and Barham, and cause addtional river level rises along the Murray River downstream of Barham. Forecasts for Swan Hill and downstream will be refined once the upstream fllood peaks along the Murray River and its tributaries are observed.
Flood operations are being conducted by the Murray-Darling Basin Authority (MDBA) at Hume Dam to manage inflows from the upper Murray, Mitta Mitta River and other tributaries. MDBA are working closely with the Bureau and WaterNSW to plan release strategies.
Further rainfall is forecast for the reminder of Monday through to Friday across parts of the Murray River Basin, which may cause renewed river level rises and flooding. The situation is being closely monitored and revised predictions will be provided if necessary.
