I am really wondering what effect the need for spinning reserve in the Snowy Hydro scheme is affecting water flow. Spinning Reserve defined here http://tinyurl.com/473a3sd. Also wondering whether this whole control of our Murray Darling headwaters is even considered by the Murray Darling Basin Plan.
If this is the state of play in the Murray River below Mildura then what is going to happen when this actually gets here. Where this photo was taken by Senator Simon Birmingham the Murrumbidgee has not yet peaked. There is whole lot of water going on and from what I hear most wetlands all the way down are now full. The Darling is flowing and the wet season has not started yet. The Murray and all its tributaries are in flood upstream.
I just hope we use natures relief period to ensure that we get it right for natures next drought.
