Rosters and restrictions on diversions from unregulated streams
During October, there was an significant increase in the number of streams subject to rosters and restrictions on diversions from unregulated streams:
In the Melbourne Water area, irrigation bans were imposed on two more streams, and Yarra River had restrictions imposed.
In northern Victoria, another 13 streams had irrigation bans or rosters imposed. The irrigation ban at Tallangatta Creek was reduced to a Stage 4 roster.
Bans were placed on irrigation diversions for all streams and lakes within the area serviced by Grampians Wimmera Mallee Water.
In southern Victoria, Stage 3 restrictions were imposed on four streams and a total irrigation ban was imposed on 12 streams.
At the end of October, diversions from a total of 134 streams and lakes across the State were subject to some form of restriction (compared with 8 at the end of October 2005).
