A renewed agreement between WaterNSW and Murray Irrigation Limited (MIL) will help to move water around the Barmah Choke for the 2024-25 water year.
Murray–Darling Basin Authority (MDBA) Senior Director River Modernisation Joe Davis said the arrangement with Murray Irrigation Limited (MIL) would ensure water delivery to downstream users whilst protecting the river environment and community values.
“Our aim is to maintain, and where possible reinstate, downstream delivery capacity through the Barmah-Millewa Reach of the River Murray.”
WaterNSW general manager water planning and delivery, Ashley Webb said the agreement continues a productive partnership between the state’s major dam manager and a key corporate customer.
“This agreement reinforces a long-standing commercial relationship that is critical to helping WaterNSW provide water to customers in the region,” said Mr Webb.
“Critically, utilising MIL infrastructure enables WaterNSW to deliver water to customers in the Edward-Wakool and Billabong Creek systems during periods of high demand.”
