There is no such river as the Murray-Darling River. The two rivers are quite separate and distinct, with their sources thousands of kilometres apart, and so floods on either river also have different sources.

Floods on the Murray River, Australia's longest river, is a result of heavy rainfall in the east, in the Great Dividing Range, specifically the southeastern region. Flooding of the Darling River is almost always a result of heavy rainfall west of the Great Dividing Range, either in central Queensland, or heavy rainfall in the Great Dividing Range in southern Queensland - many thousands of kilometres away from the source of the Murray River's flooding.
