March allocations for the 2025/26 water year have been announced by the Storage Manager.
A low-pressure system impacted Victoria between 27th February, and 2nd March providing some moderate falls to headwork storages. Although this system provided some moderate rainfall totals to the system, dry conditions throughout February resulted in limited inflow being recorded to system storages over the assessment period. Inflow received and evaporative saving realised during the assessment period provided a 4% increase to Wimmera-Mallee Pipeline Product (WMPP) entitlements, which increased to 32% allocation. Additionally, the Glenelg River Compensation Flow received 1% allocation. No allocation was possible to Recreation, Wetland and Commonwealth Environmental entitlements.
Future increasing in allocation will be contingent on new water entering the system through inflow or realised evaporative / transfer losses on the system less than the assessment provision.
February allocations for the 2025/26 water year have been announced by the Storage Manager.
Limited inflow and high evaporative losses from storages during the resource period limited any improvement in the overall resource position. Wimmera-Mallee Pipeline Product (WMPP) entitlements remain at 28% allocation. Additionally, no allocation was possible to Glenelg River Compensation Flow, Recreation, Wetland and Commonwealth Environmental entitlements.

January allocations for the 2025/26 water year have been announced by the Storage Manager.

December allocations for the 2025/26 water year have been announced by the Storage Manager.
Wimmera-Mallee Pipeline Product (WMPP) entitlements increased from 19% to 28% allocation. Additionally, no allocation was possible to Glenelg River Compensation Flow, Recreation, Wetland and Commonwealth Environmental entitlements.
Above average rainfall and modest inflow during November increased WMPP allocations to 28% for 2025/26 water year. The first stage system reserve of 20 GL was also achieved through the December resource assessment, resulting in all remaining available water going towards entitlement allocations.
