Wimmera Mallee channel system praised as vast Australian project
A government commission describes the Wimmera Mallee system as among the largest and most comprehensive domestic and stock water schemes in Australia. It details headworks from reservoirs in the Wimmera catchment, total capacity of about 107,690 acre feet, and channels extending roughly 675 miles serving over 11,000 square miles with 42 towns supplied. The scheme aims to maximize storage use, avoid wet-season runoff losses, and extend to additional channels and reservoirs including the Glenelg to Time Lake and Tavlos Lake linkages.
