Burtundy Darling

Water resources in the Menindee Lakes are currently critically low. WaterNSW is managing the Menindee Lakes in accordance with the Lower Darling Annual Operations Plan.

As part of drought contingency measures, WaterNSW has installed temporary block banks across the lower Darling. Releases from Menindee Lakes are being used to fill pools behind these block banks and this action is resulting in very low flows and potentially inconsistent gauged data at Burtundy.
