No change to allocations

In the Broken system, seasonal determinations remain at 100 per cent HRWS and 100 per cent of low‑reliability water shares.

The Campaspe system is unchanged at 100 per cent HRWS and 48 per cent LRWS.

Northern Victoria resource manager Mark Bailey said there was no additional water available to increase seasonal determinations.

“Warm and dry conditions since the previous assessment have meant evaporation and operating losses are close to our estimates,” Dr Bailey said.

“Coupled with very low flows into the storages, there were no resource improvements available for the Campaspe or Bullarook systems.

“The Murray and Goulburn systems each need resource improvements of more than 750 gigalitres before allocations to LRWS can commence.

“Based on current weather and flow conditions, it is unlikely that either system will receive low-reliability allocations this season.”
