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

Inflow to reservoirs during July was approximately 13% of average, with reservoirs increasing by around 6,000 ML since the July water resource assessment. This has been sufficient for a 2% allocation to be made to Wimmera-Mallee Pipeline Product entitlements this month. No allocation has been possible yet to Glenelg River Compensation Flow, Recreation, Wetlands or Commonwealth Environmental entitlements.

A revised system reserve rule came into effect this month, with 2,200 megalitres now in reserve. The revised rule shares the available water between entitlements and the system reserve as soon as allocations commence. Details of the new reserve rule are available from the Storage Management Rules page.
