THE Loddon irrigation system will open the 2024-2025 season with a with 69 per cent high reliability water share.
Northern Victoria Resource Manager Mark Bailey said the opening seasonal determinations reflected reserve availability across the systems.
“Reserves secured during 2023-2024 have underwritten the opening seasonal determinations in the Murray, Goulburn, Campaspe and Loddon systems,” he said.
“The storages in these systems are holding large volumes despite recent months of below-average rainfall.”
Campaspe will open with a 100 per cent allocation, Goulburn 69 per cent, Murray 53 per cent and the Broken system five per cent.
