Riverbank collapse warning

The Department for Water is reminding residents and visitors to the River Murray downstream of Blanchetown to enjoy the River, but remain on the lookout for signs of possible riverbank collapse, despite recent increases in water levels.
The Riverbank Collapse Hotline (1800 751 970) is a free 24hour hotline that has been established for the public to report any observed signs of a potential collapse, and to obtain information.
 Further information is also available online by searching “riverbank collapse” at www.sa.gov.au

Department for Water

The Department for Water came into effect today replacing the Department for Water, Land and Biodiversity Conservation.  A new websitehttp://www.waterforgood.sa.gov.au/ was also released today and contains a range of different services and products.  On the main page you can access the latest River Murray Water Resources Update and the Users Guide to the 2010-11 River Murray Drought Water Allocation Decision Framework.
 
The Rivers, reservoirs and groundwater link on the top of the webpage http://www.waterforgood.sa.gov.au/rivers-reservoirs-aquifers/river-murray/ also contains a lot of useful information, including links to media releases.
