Location and featuresThe Tumut River rises on the northern face of Mount Jagungal in the Snowy Mountains at {{convert|1430|m}} and flows generally north by west, joined by twelve tributaries including the Doubtful Creek, Happy Jacks Creek and Goobarragandra River before meeting its confluence with the Murrumbidgee River, at Darbalara near the town of Gundagai; descending {{convert|1210|m}} over its {{convert|182|km|adj=on}} course.[3][6] Between Cabramurra and Tumut, the natural course of the Tumut River has been altered as a result of the construction of the Snowy Mountains Scheme. A series of sixteen major dams and seven hydro-electric power stations were constructed between 1949 and 1974 to harness the flow of the Tumut and Snowy rivers. The Tumut River is impounded by six dams, located at Happy Jacks Dam, Tumut Pond Dam, Tumut Two Dam, Talbingo Dam, Jounama Dam, and Blowering Dam. Four hydro-power stations are located adjacent to the river flow. Although a relatively short river, the natural flow of the Tumut River is quite high,{{citation needed|date=January 2013}} as it drains the snowmelt and other runoff from a large proportion of the northern Snowy Mountains. The natural flow of the river is amplified by water transferred from the Tooma River and Lake Eucumbene by the Snowy Mountains Scheme. The river is crossed by the heritage-listed Junction Bridge at Tumut.[7] EtymologyThe word Tumut is derived from the Aboriginal word of doomut or doomat, meaning camping by the river.[2] Environmental concernsThe Tumut River has been subject to considerable debate and lobbying on environmental grounds. The Tumut River has been widely documented{{where?|date=January 2013}} as suffering from the effects of the un-natural flow regime resulting from the creation of the Snowy Mountain Scheme and the irrigation demand downstream of the Tumut River. Environmental damage attributed to the management of the Tumut River by the Government of New South Wales includes;
Sporting and leisure activitiesThe Tumut River has been a popular destination for a variety of sport and leisure activities including;
