2013: Deliveries Reach Record Numbers

The 2012/13 irrigation season was the busiest in over a decade, with more than 1.75 million megalitres of water delivered to customers.

While this figure was eclipsed in future years, deliveries had been significantly lower during the Millennium Drought. The three irrigation seasons from 08/09 to 10/11 combined did not see as much water delivered as in 12/13.

GMW being able to manage more than 140,000 orders without exceeding channel capacity or entering a rationing cycle helped provide confidence that the delivery system could perform reliably under high demand.
