June allocations for the 2025/26 water year have been announced by the Storage Manager.
Above average rainfall during May was sufficient to generate 1,937 ML of inflow to storages and contribute -2,390 ML in net evaporation to the system.
These improvements in addition to an evaporative saving in resource model provided a 6% increase to Wimmera-Mallee Pipeline Product (WMPP) entitlements, which increased to 40% allocation. The Glenelg River Compensation Flow remained at 1% allocation, and no allocation was possible to Recreation, Wetland and Commonwealth Environmental entitlements.
The June resource assessment is the last assessment for the 2025-26 water year. The next assessment will be opening allocations due on 1st July 2026.
May allocations for the 2025/26 water year have been announced by the Storage Manager.
Below average rainfall during April limited inflow to storages with only 125 ML being recorded.
Evaporative saving during April provided a small 1% increase to Wimmera-Mallee Pipeline Product (WMPP) entitlements, which increased to 34% allocation. The Glenelg River Compensation Flow remained at 1% allocation, and 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.

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 March resulted in limited inflow being recorded to system storages over the assessment period. The most significant benefit received from the rainfall was the offsetting impact it had on storage evaporation over the month. This saving provided a small 1% increase to Wimmera-Mallee Pipeline Product (WMPP) entitlements, which increased to 33% allocation. The Glenelg River Compensation Flow remained at 1% allocation, and no allocation was possible to Recreation, Wetland and Commonwealth Environmental entitlements.

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.
