Allocation – Deutgam (Werribee South Groundwater)

To better protect the Deutgam aquifer and give you more groundwater security, Southern Rural Water introduced new groundwater allocation rules for the Deutgam aquifer last season.

The opening (and minimum) groundwater allocation with Deutgam WSPA for this irrigation season (from 1 July 2017) was 50% which applies to both permanent and traded groundwater.

From 19 December, this allocation has been increased to 100% for the remainder of the season.
