- Many NSW dams near capacity
- The Murrumbidgee River’s wet season height has dropped by 30% since the 1990s
- Kosciuszko National Park: Draft Amendment to the Plan of Management: Snowy Mountains Special Activation Precinct I’ve put in a personal submission and I know MAS has prepared one plus I envisage NSWCFA. The big concern is that angling is not discussed at all.
- ‘John Barilaro is privatising Kosciuszko National Park’ In public policy commentator John Menadue’s Pearls and Irritations blog, Carolyn Pettigrew writes that John Barilaro’s Snowy Mountains Special Activation Zone Precinct effectively wrests the control of developments in Kosciuszko National Park from the Minister for the Environment into the hands of the Minister for Regional NSW, John Barilaro. The plan is to heavily develop Jindabyne and surrounding areas for tourism, with little thought for the environment.

At which location on the Murrumbidigee has the wet season height dropped. I have lived here(Bonython) for over 20years now and this year the river level during autumn is the highest I have seen for a few years. I will not compare flood levels and drought levels because so many man made influences such as the release of water from Tantangara.
Peter, we’d have read the original report to see what period it covered. I agree that around here recently, the river looks quite high. Recall that the Portal was closed for the remediation works and I wonder if Snowy Hydro was releasing water to drop Tantangara as part of Snowy Hydro 2.0. Also we’ve had an unusually wet autumn.
Thanks for this thought provoking comment.
