The flow is expected to increase to 600 cubic metres per second, according to the release. Water levels will increase by as much as one metre.
The MVA said these levels can be hazardous to novice kayakers and canoeists, as they could cause dangerous currents. Sandbars will be unstable for sunbathers, waders and other river users.
