The MDBA is working closely with the Bureau of Meteorolgy and WaterNSW to plan release strategies.
Downstream along the Murray River, moderate flooding continues at Torrumbarry and Barham.
Floodwaters from the Murray River combined with floodwaters from the Edward River have caused minor flooding at Wakool Junction and may cause minor flooding at Boundary Bend from early next week.
The Murray River at Torrumbarry Weir may remain around 7.7m for the remainder of this week, with moderate flooding.
The Murray River at Barham was predicted to reach 6.05m yesterday, with moderate flooding.
