Licensed Water Allocation
Each year the State’s water resource management agency, the Department of Water, considers the status of the supply dams and decides what percentage of Harvey Water’s licensed water allocation is available for use. Irrigators are informed of this before the season starts.
Water Allocations for the 2009/10 season are as follows:
Waroona - 85%
Harvey - 85%
Collie - 100%
