South Australia has lifted its emergency declaration in response to flooding down the Murray, but authorities say challenges remain for river communities.

Water levels along the length of the Murray continue to fall. Flows at the Victorian border have dropped 50 gigalitres a day, down from a high of about 190GL at Christmas.
