SHACKS and campsites in low-lying areas along the River Murray are under threat from floodwaters.
Floodwaters from NSW are likely to cross the border at the end of the month but will not be as high as previously thought.
Water from the current floods in Queensland are unlikely to reach SA for up to three months.
Premier Mike Rann chaired this morning's meeting involving cabinet ministers, emergency services, councils, water experts and other government agencies.
"Earlier predictions estimated that we would match 1993 flood levels with 93,000 megalitres crossing the border each day, but revised estimates indicate this it is likely to be closer to 75,000 to 80,000 megalitres," he said after the meeting.
"But the SES is warning that could still leave many low-lying areas and a large number of shacks at risk of flooding.
"We're also advised that were likely to get minimal floodwaters down the Murray from the current flooding in Queensland, and any waters would take eight to 12 weeks to reach us."
Experts say no populated towns are at risk of flooding.
Mr Rann said low-lying caravan parks along the Murray are already moving to higher ground.
"But a real risk still exists for low lying areas which are likely to be inundated, including campsites, causeways, floodplains and many river front shacks.
"The high river levels mean that currents are running faster than normal, jetties and locks could be submerged and there will be more debris in the river, posing a risk for boat users."
