This week, we explore the implications of rising River Murray water levels in this wet and wild spring. It’s a time of trepidation for river communities, but the environmental impacts could be profound.

Floods in Victoria and some historic dumps of rain on this side of the border have authorities rushing to shore up levees and provide sandbags for river communities.

Joining David Washington on the podcast this week is InDaily senior journalist Belinda Willis, an experienced writer on the River Murray, and Environment Department water expert Chrissie Bloss.
