November allocations for the 2025/26 water year have been announced by the Storage Manager.

Wimmera-Mallee Pipeline Product (WMPP) entitlements increased from 12%to 19% allocation. Additionally, no allocation was possible to Glenelg River Compensation Flow, Recreation, Wetland and Commonwealth Environmental entitlements.

Modest inflow during October helped to increase WMPP allocations to 19% for 2025/26 water year. An additional 6.4 GL of water resource was also secured for the system reserve. The July – October period has historically represented the main inflow period for the system, with 75% of all historical inflow recorded during that period.

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.
