Affected Areas

Expected Conditions

Active pumping operations are underway at Northmoor and Saltmoor, supplemented by additional mobile pumps. Pumping at Currymoor has also begun and will continue as long as river levels allow. Catchments in the area remain saturated, making rivers highly responsive to additional rainfall.
