top up for the moorabool
The Moorabool River is to receive fresh water aimed at improving water quality. The Corangamite Catchment Management Authority will release 295 million litres of fresh water from Lal Lal Reservoir from today. It will result in flows of up to
45 million litres a day and is expected to raise the river level by about 20 centimetres, although water will remain well within channel limits. Details: ccma.vic.gov.au
