Major Flood Warning for the Loddon River
Issued at 4:58 pm EST on Wednesday 8 September 2010
by the Bureau of Meteorology, Victorian Regional Office

No rainfall has been recorded in the Loddon catchment since 9am Wednesday.
Little rainfall is expected for the remainder of Wednesday, however rainfall is
likely on Thursday with totals of up to 10 to 20 mm forecast in the Loddon
Catchment. This rainfall is expected to lead to some renewed stream rises and
possible renewed minor flooding in the upper reaches of the Loddon River and
tributaries.

Stream levels in the Loddon catchment to Laanecoorie reservoir have peaked and
are now below the minor flood level, however further stream rises are expected
in the coming days due to forecast rainfall. Rises in the Loddon catchment
downstream of Loddon Weir are expected over the coming days as flood water
moves down through the catchment.

Upstream of Laanecoorie Reservoir
Bet Bet Creek at Bet Bet is currently below Minor Flood Level (4.0 metres) but
forecast rainfall on Thursday is expected to lead to minor flooding on Friday.

Downstream of Laanecoorie Reservoir
The Loddon River downstream of Laanecoorie peaked at around 6.1 metres (Major
Flood Level 5.5 metres) around midnight Saturday. The river is currently at
1.98 metres (Minor Flood Level 1.5 metres) and falling. However the river is
expected to rise above Minor Flood Level during Friday in response to rainfall
forecast for Thursday.

The Loddon River D/S Loddon Weir peaked at 7.02 metres (Major Flood Level 7.0
metres) during Monday afternoon. The river is currently at 6.31 metres
(Moderate Flood Level 6.0 metres) and falling. The river is expected to remain
above the Moderate Flood Level for the remainder of Wednesday.

Appin South
The Loddon River at Appin South is currently at 2.42 metres (Minor Flood Level
2.8 metres) and rising. Early indications are that the river will peak above
the Moderate Flood Level between 3.1 and 3.2 metres during Saturday into Sunday.

Kerang
There will be stream rises on the Loddon River at Kerang in several days as
flood waters make their way downstream from the Loddon Weir. A peak forecast
will be provided once upstream gauges have peaked.

In the interests of community safety the SES suggests following precautions:
* Don't walk, ride or drive through floodwater,
