NSW SES Flood Bulletin - Barwon River 10
Moderate | Flood BulletinMungindi and Mogil Mogil
MODERATE FLOODING POSSIBLE AT MUNGINDI EARLY AUGUST
Several Moderate flood peaks occurred along the Macintyre River at Goondiwindi in recent weeks, which has caused Minor flooding along the Barwon River at Mungindi.
The third and final flood peak along the Lower Macintyre River passed Terrewah on Thursday 22 July and is currently approaching Kanowna, where river levels are expected to peak on Wednesday 28 July. This flood peak is expected to arrive at Mungindi early August and may cause Moderate flooding.
Floodwaters from the Moonie River and Gil Gil Creek have passed Mogil Mogil, where river levels are expected to peak below the Minor flood level.
At this stage the Barwon River at Collarenebri and other downstream locations are expected to remain below the Minor flood level. Predictions will be provided one the upstream peaks are observed.
What we are expecting:
Based on the prediction provided by the Bureau of Meteorology it is expected the following areas will be impacted by floodwaters:
Mungindi:
• Minor flooding is occurring along the Barwon River at Mungindi, where moderate flooding is possible early August.
Mogil Mogil:
• The Barwon River at Mungindi is currently at 6.55 metres and steady. The Barwon River at Mungindi may reach the moderate flood level (6.70 metres) around Sunday 1 August.
What you need to do:
• Stay up to date with information. Listen to flood warnings and follow advice on how to protect yourself, family and property.

• Farmers and landholders are advised to relocate livestock, pumps and machinery to higher ground.
• Motorists are advised to take extreme care as there may be water flowing across causeways and local roads.
• Do not drive through floodwater as floodwaters may be deep, fast flowing and contain debris. Entering flood waters is a major cause of flood related deaths.
Safety is your highest priority - Never walk, drive or play in floodwaters.
For emergency help in floods and storms, call the NSW State Emergency Service on 132 500. In life threatening situations call triple zero (000) immediately.

NSW SES Equipment and Livestock Warning 2 - Murrumbidgee River
Minor | Flood WatchMurrumbidgee River
What is happening?
Recent Rainfall and high river levels combined with increased flows from the dams may result in high river rises upstream of Wagga Wagga, that could impact low lying areas adjacent to the river.
Water NSW has advised flow increases from Burrinjuck and Blowering Dams.
Flooding may affect low-lying areas and local roads near rivers and creeks. At this stage flood levels should remain below the minor flood level; however, this will continue to be monitored and the Bureau of Meteorology will issue Flood Warnings if higher levels are possible.
NSW SES will continue to monitor the situation.
What we are expecting:
We are expecting high river levels for the next couple of weeks as dam releases occur. As a result, it is likely that low-lying paddocks along the riverbanks will see a pattern of rising and falling water levels.
What you need to do:
- Monitor the latest weather forecasts and warnings and be ready to move to higher ground should flooding develop.
- Farmers move livestock, pumps and equipment away from flood-prone paddocks.
Flood Warnings will be issued if Minor Flood Level is expected to be exceeded at key sites along the main rivers for which the Bureau of Meteorology provides a flood warning service
