Inundation modelling for the program area

In July 2022, the NSW Government released improved online inundation modelling for the program area.

These interactive maps show the estimated upper limits of inundation if there was a change in flow under several different options being considered by the program.

They have been developed using comprehensive hydraulic modelling, which was checked against satellite imagery and/or aerial photography collected during several recent natural high flow events (natural and dam release) in the Murray and Murrumbidgee valleys.

View the maps from the following project areas.
