The SWIOID 2002 identifies a target of 27 GL (i.e. 30% of the Mean Annual Natural Flow- MANF) in a full allocation scenario. Since 2005-06, environmental water has been released to the Upper Murrumbidgee River to repair the condition of the river. Over the period 2005 to 2018, an average of 17.7 GL per year of environmental water has been released to the upper Murrumbidgee River. The annual allocation varied between 4 GL per year during the drought and 42.3 GL per year once sufficient water had been recovered.
