Inflows to the River Murray system since June 2006 have been running at record low levels - less than 60 per cent of the previous historical minimum recorded over the last 115 years. Consequently, though SA is entitled to an annual entitlement flow of 1850GL, the Murray-Darling Basin Commission has reduced this entitlement to 1470GL for 2006-07.
At the end of last month, SA only had 174GL remaining until the end of the financial year.

This is what the River Murray is becoming with reduced flows.
The photo was taken between the Goolwa barrages and the Murray Mouth which has no flows from either the river or the sea end.
