Low River Levels Hit Mur r ay River and Yarrawonga Dam
For the year to August 1938 the New South Wales Railway Sleeper Inspector at Corowa reported 1, the sleeper stock in the river fats near Mulwala and Yarrawonga would be submerged when Yarrawonga Weir is finished. About £4216 has been paid to sleeper-cutters. The Murray River is at a low level over two winters and water restrictions at the Hume Dam aim to boost the dam’s stored volume. If heavy rain fails in four to five weeks watersheds may yield less than required and the dam is currently less than half full.
