Episode Details

Mount Bold Reservoir is bursting at the seams after a weekend deluge that dumped over thirteen billion litres—boosting its level from 69% to a whopping 95%. To manage the surge, SA Water opened four spillway gates just enough to safely release water into the Onkaparinga River and divert it to Happy Valley Reservoir, now at 84%. This strategic release creates space for more inflows and protects the dam. The rainfall also revived iconic waterfalls like Morialta and Mannum Falls, broke August records in some towns, and caused minor flooding around Adelaide. Across South Australia, reservoirs are now at 79%, up from 54% last year. And if you’re feeling adventurous, catch the “pop-up waterfall” from a nearby viewing platform—just don’t climb the dam wall.
