Murray River Flows and Gauge Height Data

The graphs were compiled using Murray-Darling Basin Commission (MDBC) data for flows and gauge heights per day for Albury, Yarrawonga and Swan Hill. I received the data, in excel format, through a reply email from John Waterworth of the MDBC on May 9 2008. The data is the complete MDBC data from when records began to the present for Albury, Yarrawonga and Swan Hill.

In the case of the Albury data, the data ends at 2003. When more recent data was requested, the response was to ask the relevant State Government agency for more recent data.
