  Mitta Mitta River - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Mitta Mitta River is a major tributary of the Murray River in Australia and the source of approximately 40% of the Murray's flow.
The river's headwaters include Victoria's highest mountain, Mount Bogong, and wind their way north about 100 kilometres, gradually slowing before joining the Murray east of Albury.
The river's flow is heavily modified by the presence of two major dams, the Dartmouth Dam and the Hume Dam.

Some rivers might require 100mm of rain to get them to an acceptable level, however if that rain falls over the course of 10 days there may never be enough water there at any given moment to get the river moving.
Some alpine rivers will be at good levels within a matter of hours after rain has fallen depending on the amount/intensity of the rain and the size of the snowpack.
Generally, rivers are described as being low volume, medium volume and high volume and within each group there is a subgroup of flows that are designated as low, medium and high/flood.
