Our water level alerts can help by providing notifications about significant changes in water levels, following a dam release, spill or during low flows.

To help you plan your work and play, you can register to receive water alerts for a range of high and low water levels, depending on your needs and location, just visit our water alerts website to register.

When there is a spill or release at one of our dams, our remote sensors detect significant changes in water levels, and an alert is sent to registered users within the hour. Registered users can choose to receive SMS, text-to-speech call or email. These alerts will only sent in the case of an unusual water level change or something outside of our normal operation.

Water level alerts are currently available around the state, with our other waterways being added in the future.

Who needs to receive the alerts?

Water levels change all the time. Sometimes, water levels can impact landowners or water users in different ways:

  • Irrigators can monitor their equipment so it does not end up underwater, or avoid their pumps 'running dry'.
  • Paddlers may want to take advantage of higher flows.
  • Anglers, an increase in water levels may block access to their favourite fishing spot.
These water alerts are for landowner management and recreation only and do not replace flood alerts or emergency information from the Bureau of Meteorology, Tasmania Police or the State Emergency Service.
