MARKET UPDATE

Market Summary

Storage levels of the major dams within the Murray Darling Basin (MDB) decreased by 7.3% through March in line with seasonal water expectations. Total MDB storage levels were 23.4% lower than at the end of March 2017.

As a result of lower conveyance losses, on the 15[th] of March a further allocation was made to NSW Murray and Murrumbidgee General Security Holders of 2% and 4% respectively. Duxton Water benefited from this increase. No increases were made to other entitlements and the likelihood of further allocations prior to the start of the 18/19 Water year (1/7/2018) is low. Duxton Water presently has approximately 8.5GL of unleased water allocations available.
