General security allocations have risen by five per cent for NSW Murray irrigators, to reach 10 per cent for the 2025-26 water year.
The increase comes on the back of improved storage inflows, lower evaporation rates and reduced delivery losses.
General security water currently sits at 754 gigalitres, representing an average of 45 per cent of entitlements, though individual account balances may differ.
Since July 6, 2025, the Bureau of Meteorology's seasonal flow forecast for Hume Dam has been unavailable.
However, alternative forecasting methods using Murray River measurements at Biggara indicate inflow patterns are expected to track close to historical median levels from September to November 2025.
The Lower Darling Regulated River Water Source has maintained full allocation since July 1, 2025, with no scope for additional allocations in this water year.
