As the work on the boat has progressed, there has been much speculation about how well it will travel over a dry lakebed. Fortunately there are plans to address the long term water supply to the lake.
The December 2009 edition of the City of Ballarat myballarat Community Magazine, outlined plans to harvest stormwater, quadrupling the catchment area, and diverting this water to Lake Wendouree. The Lake will act as a reservoir, from which water will be distributed to community assets such as the Sturt Street gardens.
It is expected that the full range of works will be completed by June 2013 after which the Lake's water supply should be assured in perpetuity.
