jagger 24 Posted September 1, 2010 Report Share Posted September 1, 2010 http://www.sawater.com.au/SAWater/WhatsNew/WaterDataUpdate/ReservoirHome.htm?ReservoirSystem=MetroAfter reading some interesting figures from other states I did a quick search and come across this. Most have probably seen it before but I hadn't !Great to see... things are looking promising for summer !! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
urhookedfish 12 Posted September 1, 2010 Report Share Posted September 1, 2010 Thats a fantastic link Jaggs, but I wonder why the Little Para is only at 37%.wonder why thats not up with the others? There announcing the relaxing of water restrictions soon or may have already done so. Not sure if its all restrictions but some of our gardening water restrictions will be lifted...ie using a sprinkler. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Piranha 76 Posted September 1, 2010 Report Share Posted September 1, 2010 more importantly I hear the big dams that feed the murray euc,dart and hume are getting good inflows and hume could get close to full before summer which hasn't happened for well over 10 years.

Booma 1,360 Posted September 1, 2010 Report Share Posted September 1, 2010 From the same website ;)"The reservoir also has a flood mitigation role. As it is kept deliberately less than full for most of the year it has the capacity to contain flood peaks and release floodwaters at a controlled rate." Quote Link to post Share on other sites

fishnuts 55 Posted September 1, 2010 Report Share Posted September 1, 2010 The Para was also drained earlier in the year for maintenance work to be done on the wall. Could still be in progress.Cheers Darren Quote Link to post Share on other sites
