Environmental Water Flows into Lake Hawthorn
Commencing in April 2016 Lake Hawthorn began to receive an Environmental Water Allocation via infrastructure that is managed by Lower Murray Water.
Irrigation flows are prioritised throughout this process.
The following document outlines information provided by Mallee CMA regarding this allocation which is to support waterways that have significant benefits to migratory and native birdlife. There has been significant evidence to show that Lake Hawthorn is in fact a prominant area for endangered species including the red necked stint which flies from as far away as Siberia.
Significant rainfall has been extremely beneficial in 2026 with lake levels improving however our salt levels are seriously high and significantly effecting surrounding vegetation and the ability to re-establish native fish and wetland reliant animals back to Lake Hawthorn. We hope that this can be improved through innovative projects and programs moviing forward.
