River flows map

The map below displays current flows at gauges we monitor across our region, but you can also sign up to our SMS alert service, which sends text messages concerning when and where environmental flows are occurring, what they aim to achieve, and flow rates.

To sign up, send a sms with the word ‘register’ and full name and locality to 0427 871 565 or email Wimmera CMA.

Text messages will provide information specifically about environmental flows released from storages. Natural flows along creeks and rivers will not be part of this service.

  • December/ Early January Flow Update

    Flows have stopped in the Wimmera River, from Taylors Lake and will recommence to maintain habitat and water quality on 9-17 December and from the 6 -13 January 2026.

    A short flow in the Upper MacKenzie River and Burnt Creek from Wartook Reservoir will occur from 9-15 December and will replenish drought refuges in the lower Burnt Creek section. Another short flow will recommence on the 6-8 January 2026 to maintain drought refuges in the Upper Burnt Creek.

    Watering at seven wetlands from the Wimmera Mallee pipeline is occurring until mid-December 2025 to top water levels to minimise loss over summer.
