September allocations for the 2026/27 water year.
Close to average monthly rainfall received to storages across the Grampians was sufficient to generate 42,558ML of inflow to storages. Net evaporation also contributed to a resource improvement with -2,270 ML in net evaporation calculated for system storages.
These improvements were sufficient to increase Wimmera-Mallee Pipeline Product entitlement allocations from 23% to 65%. Allocations were also made to Glenelg Compensations Flow (9%), Recreation (7%) and Wetlands (8%). 20 GL has also been allocated to the early system reserve. No allocation was possible to the Commonwealth Environmental entitlement.
