Gogeldrie Weir regulates water flow out of the Murrumbidgee River into the Yanco Creek and then into the Coleambally Irrigation Area. Located on the Murrumbidgee River between Yanco and Darlinton Point.

Located on the Goulburn River at Eildon. Storage capacity is 3,334,158 megalitres. Water from Lake Eildon flows via the Goulburn River into Lake Nagambie at Nagambie. The water in Lake Nagambie is pooled by the Goulburn Weir. The Goulburn River flows into the Murray upsteam of Echuca.

Located on the Goulburn River at Nagambie. Storage capacity is 25,500ML. The pool of water is called Lake Nagambie.

Located 8km north of Rushworth. Water is pooled by an earthen embankment. Storage capacity is 432,360 ML. Water is supplied by the Goulburn River via the Stuart Murray Canal and Cattanach Canal drawn from Lake Nagambie, as well as its own catchment area.

The first lock on the Murray River (from the lower river aspect). Located at Blanchtown, upstream of Lake Alexandrina.

The Murray river flows into Lake Alexandrina.

Located across the Goolwa Channel of Lake Alexandrina at Goolwa. One of five separate barrages. Goolwa Barrage regulates fresh water flow out of Lake Alexandrina, and stops salt water flowing into Lake Alexandrina. Fresh water on the left of this picture, salt water on the right.

Located across the Goolwa Channel of Lake Alexandrina at Goolwa. One of five separate barrages. Goolwa Barrage regulates fresh water flow out of Lake Alexandrina, and stops salt water flowing into Lake Alexandrina. Fresh water on the right of this picture, salt water on the left.

Located between Encounter Bay and Lake Alexandrina. Interchange of water between the Southern Ocean and Lake Alexandrina occurs through this inlet. Due to the restriction of water interchange by various barrages, the inlet requires regular dredging to prevent ocean deposits closing it.
