Recently the Inspector-General of Water Compliance Troy Grant paid a visit to the Barmah Choke. The Choke is located on the border of Victoria and NSW just north of Echuca, and has the lowest flow in any stretch of the River Murray. The Inspector-General was there meeting with community members to learn more about the Choke and its significance in the Murray-Darling.
His visit comes ahead of a fairly significant time of year. Trade through the Choke opens on 1 July and to explain a little more about the significance of that is IGWC’s Director of Trade Regulation, Edwina Carter. Edwina explains how trade through the Barmah Choke works, when there’s a limited amount of water able to flow through this shallow, narrow section of the River Murray.
