It is expected that at both locations, the Murrumbidgee River will reach and potentially exceed their minor flood levels as the week progresses with the river at Darlington Point predicted to peak at approximately 5.50 meters on Friday and the river at Narrandera reaching around 6.7 meters on Wednesday.
