Distribution of The Water
Waranga Basin stores water flowing downstream from Lake Eildon as well as having a catchment area of its own. Waranga Basin supplies water to the Central Goulburn Irrigation Area and Rochester Irrigation Area. However, the Waranga Western Channel takes some of the water 180 kilometres to Pyramid Hill and Boort. Goulburn-Murray Water is responsible for regulating the flow of water from the basin.
Normally, only about three-quarters of the 411,000 Ml can be used in irrigation. However, in 2002-03, an additional 90,000 Ml was supplied through pumping. This was to assist farmers in the Goulburn Irrigation System experiencing severe drought.

—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“At noon, you walk across a river. It is dry, with not this much water: it is just stones and pebbles. But it rains cats and dogs in the mountains, and towards afternoon, the water descends wildly and she ravages all in its path, the madwoman. That is how death comes. Without our expecting it, and we cannot do a thing against it, brothers.”
—Jacques Roumain (1907–1945)
