Water is allocated each year for use during the Irrigation Season – which generally extends from 15 August to 15 May. The allocation refers to the water that is actually available for GMW customers to use or trade during the irrigation season. This amount will vary depending on how full storages are and if the amount of rain there has been.
‘Allocation’ can also refer to the water that is actually in the dam in any given year that is allocated against water shares.
