    Hi Zachary,

    Unfortunately I do not have information on the flow rates. Based on recent site visits, bore data has recorded iron concentration in the river at 1.01 and 1.25mg/L. Iron levels have previously been recorded up to levels as high as 37mg/L which have been linked to seasonal low flows especially in the later months of the dry season, low-oxygen conditions and iron dissolution from surrounding sedimentary and alluvial material.

    Hope this helps.

    Kind regards,
    Evelyn
