Outlook for the 2017/18 season

The Resource Manager uses historical flow records to assess the seasonal determinations for a range of inflows to the major storages.

The scenarios assessed are:

Wet: Inflow volumes to major storages that are greater in 10 years out of 100

Average: Inflow volumes to major storages that are greater in 50 years out of 100

Dry: Inflow volumes to major storages that are greater in 90 years out of 100

Extreme Dry: Inflow volumes to major storages that are greater in 99 years out of 100The following table summarises the possible high-reliability water share seasonal determinations for the Goulburn and Loddon systems through 2017/18. A reference year is included to help users recognise the possible inflow conditions.
