Gunbower Creek |
Autumn/winter low flow (above 200 ML/day during May to August) | - Maintain habitat and food resources for native fish (such as Murray cod) during the non-irrigation season
| 
|
Spring/summer/autumn low flow (targeting a gradual increase, stable flow period and decrease in flows ranging between 300-500 ML/day during August to May)1 | - Maintain breeding habitat and food resources for native fish (such as Murray cod)
- Provide cues for the migration and spawning of native fish
- Dilute low-oxygen water exiting Gunbower Forest below Koondrook Weir if required
|  
|
Autumn/winter fresh (500 ML/day for one to four weeks during May to August) | - Deliver in response to high flow in Murray River and low oxygen water draining off Gunbower Forest during the non-irrigation season to protect water quality and allow fish to move between Murray River and Gunbower Creek
