Heavy rain has boosted River Murray water flows according to SA Water, which recorded a staggering influx of 31 giga litres last week. The South Australian Government was able to announce the lifting of the state’s water restrictions will occur on December 1, 2010. South Australia’s desalination plant is expected to open around the same time, following a four month delay.

Good winter rainfall is also allowing the ACT to relax water restrictions this week.
