Watts River
We set trigger levels using historical stream flow data for both the implementation and lifting of bans on the taking and use of water. The triggers have been set to ensure water is shared fairly between licenced diverters and the environment.
Trigger levels
| Dates | Ban | Restriction |
|---|---|---|
| 1 Nov - 30 Jun | 1 | - |
| 1 Jul - 31 Oct | 3 | - |
Bans are implemented or lifted when a catchment-specific trigger has been met, based upon seven day rolling average stream flow.
The full details for the licence conditions can be found in the stream flow management plan for Watts River.

Flow levels are monitored by gauges (data logging stations) that provide continuous flow readings. The data logging station for Watts River is located at Healesville (229144A).
