@MattWhittaker15 @HorneLegal @thelandnews Not much opportunity to store in Lake Victoria, though -- it's a small regulating storage, only a tad over 500GL, and already 88% full. If it bypasses Lake Menindee, the water is more likely to be counted as unregulated flow from which only SA benefits.

@HorneLegal @thelandnews Agree. Menindee is looking likely to hit the 640 GL trigger to switch to MDBA control for the first time in years, and irrigators on the Murray should get the benefit.

@HorneLegal @thelandnews The 2010 BP Guide reflected inflow modelling from 1895 to 2009, which included the wetter last few decades of the last century. The metrics of the last 20 years, with more frequent extreme drought conditions experienced, are a better guide to the future under climate change.
