The seasonal determination in the Goulburn and Loddon systems increased from 69 per cent of high-reliability water shares to 73 per cent.
The Broken system increased from 42 per cent to 45 per cent.
The Bullarook seasonal determination increased from 20 per cent to 33 per cent.
The Murray and Campaspe systems remain unchanged at 100 per cent .
Resource Manager Mark Bailey said rainfall since the last assessment provided the resource improvements.
“Rainfall in mid-December meant flows into the storages were higher than our estimates,” Dr Bailey said.
“This provided the additional water to increase seasonal determinations in the Goulburn, Broken, Loddon and Bullarook systems.”
