Lake Eppalock at full capacity holds 304, 651 ML and a maximum depth of 36 meters


  • The average annual inflow into the lake is 1900,000 ML 
  • By Easter 2015 Goulburn Murray Water (GMW) predict that the lake will be sitting around 43% (approximately 130,999 ML) and possibly close to 38% (105,000) or less by June 15 2015.
  • So if the region and catchment areas do not receive the estimated annual inflows, with the predicted outflows by GMW the lake will not fill again this year.

The Weather Prediction - the good and bad news

The Bureau of Meteorology (BOM) have stated that the El Nino indicators have eased, however the outlooks favour drier and warmer conditions, heading into Autumn. Basically we can expect rain but a lot less of it.
