August allocations for the 2026/27 water year.

Although rainfall was below the monthly average, it was sufficient to generate 28,301ML of inflow to storages. Net evaporation also contributed to a resource improvement with -920 ML in net evaporation calculated for system storages.

These improvements were sufficient to increase allocations from 12% to 23% for Wimmera-Mallee Pipeline Product entitlements. 20 GL has also been allocated to the early system reserve. No allocation was possible to Glenelg River Compensation Flow, Recreation, Wetland and Commonwealth Environmental entitlements.
