Six reservoirs run dry including Luancroorie and Green Lake. total remaining across listed sites stands at 450 550 acre feet. The Water Commission chairman Mr East says rainfall had little impact on storages and notes ongoing Bendigo water supply works via the Waranga channel with trenches advancing and pumps lifting water to Specimen Hill.
