Seasonal determination increases for the Murray, Goulburn, Loddon and Broken systems
The Resource Manager for northern Victoria today announced an update of 2025/26 seasonal determinations.
The Murray system seasonal determination increases from 90 per cent of high-reliability water shares (HRWS) to 93 per cent HRWS.
The Goulburn and Loddon systems increase from 54 per cent HRWS to 57 per cent HRWS.
The Broken system increases from 27 per cent HRWS to 32 per cent HRWS.
The Campaspe system remains at 100 per cent HRWS. The Bullarook system is unchanged at zero per cent HRWS.
Resource Manager Mark Bailey said rainfall in late October had given a small boost to flows.
“Our flow forecasts assume no further rain,” Dr Bailey said.
“The recent rainfall meant the flows into storages were more than forecast and gave more resource to allocate.
“There was small improvement in the Bullarook system, however, more rainfall and flows are needed to close the gap to a seasonal determination in the system.”
