Water allocations for SA irrigators along the River Murray are projected to open at 100 per cent for the 2022-23 water year.
The early outlook advice is based on a "worst-case" water availability assessment from the Murray-Darling Basin Authority, which indicates South Australia will receive its full annual River Murray Entitlement of 1850 gigalitres during the same period.

River Murray inflows in the past three months have been some of the highest on record for this time of year.
These conditions have benefited the environments that rely on the water, but have also meant irrigators have needed to draw less water from the River.
These factors have boosted Murray-Darling Basin storages to 91 pc of their capacity - up 32 pc on the long-term average for the end of March.
Climate, Environment and Water Minister Susan Close said this projection was great news for the state's irrigators and would give them confidence to plan for the year ahead.
"The River Murray is the lifeblood of SA with much of our state's wealth and environmental sustainability coming from the river," she said.
"It's imperative that we make the River Murray a priority for SA again.

"Our government is committed to the Murray-Darling Basin Plan and will do everything in our power to deliver it, and to strengthen it for the future sustainability of SA.
"This includes fighting for the remaining 450 gigalites of water agreed to by the commonwealth and Basin states."
In line with the River Murray Water Allocation Plan, private carryover will not be available in 2022-23 as the projected minimum opening allocation is greater than 50pc.
