A renewed agreement between WaterNSW and Murray Irrigation Limited (MIL) will help to move water around the Barmah Choke for the 2024–25 water year.

The Barmah Choke water trade balance to start the 2024–25 water year will deliver trade opportunity for irrigators.

The Murray–Darling Basin Authority is moving ahead with detailed design work on a suite of options to improve the movement of water through the Barmah–Millewa Reach of the Murray River.

Trading water from above the Barmah Choke to below the choke will continue to be restricted into the 2016–17 water year.

As of 3:30pm on 22 May, the volume of water able to be traded from above to below the Barmah Choke was sitting at 18,798.6 megalitres.
