The latest seasonal allocations for December 2024 have been announced by the Storage Manager.
Inflow to reservoirs during November totalled 1,550 ML (excluding Taylors Lake), or approximately 13.8% of the historic long-term average. Persistent dry catchment conditions have significantly limited inflow to storages, with only small resource improvements identified. With limited resource improvement over the month, allocation improvements were minimal.
Wimmera-Mallee Pipeline Product entitlements increased to 18% allocation, a 3% increase on the November allocation. No allocation has been possible yet to the following: the Glenelg River Compensation Flow, Recreation, Wetlands and Commonwealth Environmental entitlements. In addition, a total of 16.3 GL has been allocated to the system reserve for the next water year.
