If you’ve been anywhere near the Murray lately (or you’ve got a pump, a boat, or a bit of skin in the game), you’ve probably heard the same line a few times:
“Lake Victoria’s getting low.”
And yep... it is.
As at 13 February 2026, the SA River Murray Flow Report has Lake Victoria sitting at 366 GL, which is about 54% capacity.
Now, 54% isn’t “empty”… but it’s also not the comfy, cruise-control zone you want heading into hot weather and high demand.
