These River Murray Inundation Maps portray the predicted peak flow in April 2012. For the latest information on flows and public safety information, please refer to the River Murray High Flow Advice and River Murray Flow Report available at River Murray Flow Reports.

What is the purpose of the mapping?

To provide information relating to areas of potential inundation of the River Murray and surrounding floodplain. This information may be used by the public and emergency personnel to assist in identifying areas requiring flood risk management and planning.

What information will the mapping provide?

The maps (51 in total, separated into 1 map series) spanning the length of River from Cadell to Mannum in South Australia, portray areas that have been assessed as being subject to inundation at a 60,000 ML/day flow. These areas are represented by transparent aqua shading in the mapping.

What are the limitations of the mapping?

The data contained in this mapping is based on survey, hydraulic and hydrological modelling, to an accuracy sufficient only for broad scale flood risk management and planning. The inundation patterns are not those of actual historical floods. Actual inundation patterns will vary from one flood to another being affected by earthworks, blockages of structures, the state of the vegetative cover and other factors. The limit of flooding shown is not a boundary between flood prone and flood free land. Areas outside the limits shown could be inundated by larger floods.

These River Murray Inundation Maps portray the peak flows observed during February 2011. For the latest information on flows and public safety information please refer to the River Murray High Flow Advice and River Murray Flow Report available at River Murray Flow Reports.

What information will the mapping provide?

The maps (168 in total, separated into four map series) spanning the length of River from Murtho Forest to Mannum in South Australia, provide areas or extents that have been assessed as being subject to inundation at an 90,000 ML per day flow. These areas or extents are represented by a shading in the mapping.

What is the purpose of the mapping?

To provide information relating to areas of potential inundation of the River Murray and surrounding floodplain if there was a flow of 120,000 ML/day in the River Murray in South Australia.

What information will the mapping provide?

The series of maps portray areas along the River Murray that have been assessed as being subject to inundation at a 120,000 ML/day flow. These areas are represented by transparent aqua shading in the mapping. Maps for the lower part of the River Murray from Mannum will be included soon.
