The South Australian government has declared a major emergency as River Murray floodwaters continue to rise, with the potential for a second peak "even higher than the first".
Modelling shows there will be a flood peak in early December, with the possibility of another peak in late December or early January.
SA Premier Peter Malinauskas said there would be increased impacts to communities, businesses, infrastructure and agriculture.
He said the current modelling for the river flow of 175 gigalitres per day had not changed, but the Environment Department had provided new information about the possibility of a second peak.
