[QUOTE="cows sh#t me to tears, post: 5394810, member: 44958"] I don't honestly know now....In Vic they have both a high and low reliability water entitlement. Up until recently they could not carryover water. Unused water went back into the pool to make next years allocation ( this giving them a higher reliability) , now they can carry it over against there low reliability water shares. So there should be less water to divvy up amongst Vic irrigators. NSW also has the ability to carryover water...which also reduces the space in storage for the following season. That being said though, most NSW Murray system farms had traditionally about a meg an acre in water holdings ie a 600acre farm had around 600ml of entitlement. The Murrumbidgee has virtually double, most rice blocks around Colleambally had 1200megs for a 600acres. In Vic it was much the same. Most of those former dairy blocks had 2 to 300 megs on a 100 ac block. So I really am bùggered if I know why we were screwed at the negotiating table all those years ago....Rumour has it the Victorian and South Australian ministers got the NSW minister drunk and shoved the paper in front of him to sign.....Going by the dubious record of most NSW politicians, I wouldn't at all be surprised if that was 100% correct.
