Restrictions on Diversions - December 2010
On this page
Rosters and restrictions on diversions from unregulated streams.
- At the end of December, diversions from a total of 13 unregulated streams and lakes across the state were subject to restrictions. The number of unregulated streams and lakes on restriction typically increases during the summer period, as streamflows decrease with the hotter and drier weather. This is the lowest number of unregulated waterways on restriction since 2006/07, and is significantly lower than the same time last year when over 100 streams and lakes were subject to rosters or bans.
- In northern Victoria, Goulburn-Murray Water had restrictions or irrigation bans in place on one stream in the Kiewa basin, four in the Loddon and one in the Campaspe.
- There were five restrictions or bans in place in Melbourne Water’s jurisdictions at the end of December.
- There were no bans in GWMWater’s region at the end of December.
- Southern Rural Water had irrigation restrictions in place for two streams in the Western Region at the end of December.
