THE regulated rivers, catchments and storages managed by Victoria’s largest rural water authority, Goulburn-Murray Water (GMW), are showing their resilience to the dry conditions gripping other parts of Australia, but the region is set to face a dry outlook for the remainder of spring and early summer.
GMW interim managing director, Bill Jaboor said the water reserves established over the last few seasons have contributed to water security for all entitlement holders, including those in the Goulburn Murray Irrigation District.
“Our astute customers, primarily made up of the farmers who provide food and fibre for us all, are increasingly taking advantage of seasonal carryover and other water management options to make the most of the region’s most precious resource,” Mr Jaboor said.
“With the volume of water available to use this season, GMW is currently well placed to meet the demands of our entitlement holders as they arise.”
