WaterThe existing yield of the Barwon/Moorabool system, including groundwater, is 43,000 megalitres/year (based on restrictions imposed 5% of the time). The current (unrestricted) demand is about 37,000 megalitres/year. By 2015, due to a reduction in available water and an increase in demand (consistent with conditions over the last 10 years), it is estimated that the region will need to find 10,000 megalitres/year from other water supply options. By 2055 this amount will have increased to 29,000 megalitres/year(18). (18) The G21 – Geelong Region Alliance, Geelong Region Plan 2007 p18 |
