Further Information
Goulburn-Murray Water (G-MW), the resource manager for northern Victorian water systems, announced increased allocations for the Murray and Goulburn systems today. The allocations in the Broken, Campaspe, Loddon and Bullarook systems remained unchanged at zero.
The Murray system allocation is 57% of high-reliability water shares (HRWS), which is an increase of 2%. The seasonal allocation in the Goulburn system is 46% HRWS, which is an increase of 5%.
"The rain over the last week has only produced minor inflows to the major storages," said G-MW's Acting Resource Manager, Mark Bailey. "The rainfall totals were substantial, but did not produce the volumes of inflows seen earlier in the spring due to drying of the catchments over the previous few weeks. It was really a combination of the inflows, reduced demand for water, and lower than planned evaporation and system operating requirements that produced the increased Murray and Goulburn allocations. However, the benefits of the rain and lower evaporation rates were not enough to reduce the shortfalls to allocation in the Broken, Campaspe, Loddon and Bullarook systems."
