The link would let Lake Eucumbene store Snowy waters along with Eucumbene Tumut and Murrumbidgee river waters. Senator Spooner announced changes to the Snowy Mountains authority reports for 1957 and 1958 noting a major planning alteration. A high level diversion and a new tunnel from Island Bend Pondage to Lake Eucumbene are included to speed completion and use of Snowy waters earlier.
