Flood Warning Number: 7
FLOOD PEAK ABOVE THE 2010 FLOOD LEVELS EXPECTED AT EULO BY MONDAY, MAJOR FLOODING CONTINUES TO RISE
MAJOR FLOODING EXPECTED AT HUNGERFORD FROM LATE MONDAY, 2010 FLOOD LEVELS POSSIBLE FROM AROUND FRIDAY 4 APRIL
Significant and widespread rainfall has been observed across the Paroo River catchment over the last week. This rainfall has resulted in dangerous and rapid river level rises across the catchment.
No significant rainfall is expected over the next couple of days. Further rainfall is forecast from the middle of the week and this rainfall is likely to prolong the flood peaks currently moving through the Paroo River system.
Forecasts for Eulo and Hungerford will be refined as upstream peaks are observed.
The situation is being closely monitored and this warning will be updated as required.

Major flooding is occurring along the Paroo River at Eulo and Humeburn.
The Paroo River at Eulo is currently at 6.23 metres and rising, well above the major flood level (4.00 m).
The Paroo River at Eulo is likely to peak around 6.5 metres by Monday, above the 2010 flood level (6.27 m).
Paroo River downstream of Eulo:
Major flooding will occur along the Paroo River at Hungerford. Major flooding is rising at Caiwarro.
The Paroo River at Hungerford is currently at 1.55 metres above the moderate flood level (1.50 metres).
The Paroo River at Hungerford is likely to exceed the major flood level (2.00 m) late Monday. The river level may reach around 2.90 metres during Friday which is around the 2010 flood level (2.87 m).
