| 1-Sep-2010 ~ Allocation Announcement – SMDB 1st September 2010 | |
| New South Wales The New South Wales Office of Water has today announced that ongoing and wide-spread rainfall across the NSW Murray and Murrumbidgee catchments has allowed for opening general security allocations as well as further increases in Murray high security allocations. NSW Murray general security holders have been granted an opening allocation of 8% and holders of high security licences have received a 27% increase bringing their total allocation to 97%. Murrumbidgee general security licence holders have received an opening allocation of 9% and high security allocations did not receive any further allocation and remain on 95%. Victoria The Goulburn-Murray Water, Resource Manager for northern Victorian water systems today announced further increases in allocations for all northern Victorian water systems. High-reliability water share holders in the Murray have received a 34% increase in allocation which brings their allocation total to 57% so far this season. Irrigators in the Goulburn system have also received a 15% increased allocation for their high-reliability water shares bringing their total allocation to 41%. Increases have been granted based on healthy inflows caused by continuing rainfall on already wet catchments. South Australian Today the South Australian Minister for the River Murray, Paul Caica announced that recent improvements in inflows in the River Murray and the Mount Lofty Ranges have allowed for a allocation increase of 7% bringing the total allocation for this season to 41%. This is significantly higher than this time last year when allocations were at 10%. For all full State announcements see the document attached to this water alert. The next allocation announcement will be on the 15th of September.
