Murrumbidgee River
A modified ‘flow scaling’ approach used to set SRIF releases to the Snowy River has also been applied to the SMRIF in the Murrumbidgee River (;). This modified approach uses the recorded flows in a nearby natural catchment (in a year where similar volumes of flow occurred) to set daily releases. For releases to the Murrumbidgee River from Tantangara dam, the initial daily flow targets were set using the flow sequence for the Murrumbidgee River above Tantangara (station No. 410535). Daily targets are then amended to account for operational implementation.
