A ‘stay informed’ warning does remain in place for residents along the river at Barham.
Flows from the Murray River combined with floodwaters from the Goulburn River have increased water levels below the junction.
Peaks below the minor flood level were observed along the river at Echuca and Torrumbarry at the weekend.
The river at Barham is rising slowly, currently below the minor flood level at 5.38m. It may peak near the minor flood level (5.50m) overnight Monday, July 13, into Tuesday.
Plenty of water is flowing through Torrumbarry Weir, with the level steady at 6.19 local gauge height on Monday, July 13.
The level at Echuca wharf is steady at 89.58 Australian Height Datum (AHD).
The figures from the Bureau of Meteorology are recorded in local gauge height, which typically has a zero reading near the lowest water level reached during dry conditions.
Access to the new pontoon at Victoria Park boat ramp is cut off by the water.

In many tidal areas, as well as for a few inland river gauges, river levels are stated in Australian Height Datum, which is approximately the height above mean sea level.
At Moama, Moama beach remains closed due to localised flooding. This includes access to the main car park.
