Table A3 shows a summary of the volume of environmental water delivered in the Goulburn catchment between 2009 and May 2014, and the different amounts of water contributed to these watering actions by the Commonwealth and delivery partners (The Living Murray program and VEWH). This table clearly illustrates that cumulative environmental watering in the Goulburn catchment since 2009 has been significant; however, no managed floodplain watering of the lower Goulburn River has yet been undertaken.

This is because the water is needed for a range of environmental objectives in the river and downstream every year.
