Australia’s Bureau of Meteorology (BOM) issued a major flood warning for areas along the Lachlan River as a large dam in New South Wales’s South West Slopes region spilled heavily on Monday, November 14.
Footage released by the local Rural Fire Service (RFS) shows water gushing from Wyangala Dam.
“Wyangala dam is currently spilling significant amounts of water as result of widespread heavy rainfall yesterday and overnight,” NSW RFS South West Slopes Zone said.
