Water supply system history of Wimmera and Mallee scheme
The article traces early water concepts in western Victoria from pre channel periods to the Wimmera water trust era. It highlights the Wright era aims, commissioners, and struggles, including the push for northward extensions, pump-driven supply, and council-trust conflicts over water rights, costs, and drought impacts like 1902. It notes Kenmare dam as an emergency supply point when other reservoirs ran dry.

Scarcity of Water in the Mallee Brings Hardships to Farmers
The article recalls the severe water scarcity in the Mallee during harsh early days. Farmers traveled 10 to 29 miles for water, leaving little for families. At dams, six to twelve wagon teams waited for access to a 2 inch hand pump, drawing 600 to 1200 gallons for tanks. Home life suffered as wives and children thirsted on hot days. The piece argues that trust based water control hindered a settled, profitable farming system and notes escalating conflicts with Wimmera interests as demand grew beyond southern water trusts capacity. (To be continued.)
