A restriction on the trade of water downstream of the Narrows (previously referred to as the Barmah Choke) has been active since 2014 to protect water delivery to existing entitlement holders and to maintain the local river environment.
MDBA Executive Director of River Management, Jacqui Hickey, said the opening balance is lower than last season.
“The opening balance for the Barmah Narrows is based on last year’s water allocations. On 1 July, we expect about 24 GL to be available for downstream trade which is around 14 GL less than last year,” Ms Hickey said.
