Monthly e-water update

Welcome to the Glenelg River Environmental Water updates for February 2025.

Monthly updates for the Environmental Water team will be published in the Glenelg Hopkins CMA eNewsletter, distributed at the end of each month, and published on the Water for the Environment page on our website.

This is the first for 2025, with an overview of the Summer Environmental Water season so far.

During Winter-Spring 2024, much of the Glenelg experienced drought conditions.  As noted in the previous issue, conditions have remained dry between December – January. A Summer fresh and compensation flows were released earlier than normal in late November 2024 on account of these dry conditions. These flows help to sustain connectivity and water quality in the Gleneg River. Look out for the Rocklands February Fresh will be released from February 11 – 26. Without any projected break from dry conditions, we continue to anticipate low rainfall in the catchment and will provide an update on this in the March newsletter.   

You can find the full update for February on our Water for the Environment page
