From ABC News:
Dam spill-over may benefit NSW farmers
The Queensland Government says New South Wales graziers should benefit from water spilling over from dams in southern Queensland.
The graziers complained earlier in the year that irrigators upstream were taking water that should have flowed onto their floodplains.
The Department of Natural Resources says about 15,000 megalitres is spilling over the Beardmore Dam near St George each day after rain.
The department's Ross Krebbs says the water is now finding its way into other parts of the Murray Darling River system.
"Yes there will be a component of water that gets through into NSW and it might just be a little bit early to call at this stage as to whether we'll have all streams flowing all through," he said.
"The key is the amount of duration we have and the more weeks of base flow we have the further we can get the water down the system."
