Independent Expert Panel on restoring Mowamba River flows and flexibility of Jindabyne releases of Snowy River Increased Flows

The Snowy Mountains Scheme includes a weir on the Mowamba River and an aqueduct that diverts flows from the Mowamba Weir to Lake Jindabyne. Under current operations, only 1.3 ML/day of the Mowamba River’s flow is allowed to pass the weir, except when the 500 ML/day capacity of the aqueduct is exceeded and the excess flow overtops the weir. Overtopping may not occur in dry years.
