Warmer waters on the way below Burrendong
Newstreams #46
Work is underway on the temperature control structure that will mitigate cold water pollution from Burrendong Dam, on the Macquarie River, central west NSW.
The structure is built around the intake tower of the dam to enable warmer water from the surface of the dam to be released downstream, reducing the impact of cold water on native fish. It can also be raised and lowered with the storage level to ensure the system continues to work regardless of the water level in the dam.
It’s expected to be operational in time for warmer Spring flows, which is good news for the native fish living downstream. Read More>>> (http://www.statewater.com.au/current+projects/Environmental+projects/Burrendong+temperature+control+structure)
