The latest seasonal allocations for November 2022 have been announced by the Storage Manager.

 

Inflow to reservoirs during October was approximately 465% of average, with the total volume in storage having increasing by around 127,500 megalitres since the October water allocation assessment. This has enabled a substantial increase to allocations, with all entitlements, except the Commonwealth Environmental entitlement, achieving full allocation. Wimmera-Mallee Pipeline Product entitlements increased from 60% to 100% this month. The Glenelg River Compensation Flow has increased from 4% allocation to 100%. The Recreation and Wetlands entitlements have both increased from 2% allocation to 100%. No allocation has been possible yet to Commonwealth Environmental entitlement.

 

A revised system reserve rule came into effect in August 2022. A total of 52,800 megalitres has been allocated to the system reserve. Details of the new reserve rule are available from the Storage Management Rules page.
