The NSW Government Community update on response to fish deaths in Menindee and Lower Darling-Baaka Update on positive impacts of recent flows released to support river health. The seven water pulses released between 10 November 2023 and 10 January 2024 have successfully improved dissolved oxygen throughout the water column and supported fish health. NSW Government and Commonwealth agencies are continuing to carefully monitor the situation and adjusting releases as required to help prevent hypoxic conditions in the Menindee town weir pool upstream of Weir 32.
