anyone know the dam levels?

 

[Fluffy]

it will be on the news, this morning they said about 40mm on the 7am news which is about 5 - 10% after all the flow down i think.

we need a lot more still

 

[Dan]

I heard about 25mm across the entire W catchment area which is a lot of water, should be a afair amount.

The report I think comes out on thursdayas but its a bugger to track down

 

[Fluffy]

im sure it will be on the news this evening.

There was a website somewhere which was updated daily but ive forgotten the address

 

[Dan]

I have the address but its not updated daily its based on the reports, I am running the firefox plugin ATM

[Fluffy]

for anyone interested.

A lot must have been soaked up in the dry soil.

 

[Dan]

nah thats from last week dude. Like I say the report is published by sydney catchment and is reported weekly on thursday afternoons. So the data is estimated only. We should see the correct details tommorrow

 

[Manly4Ever]

They will not know the full effect until this time next week as the run of can take days to seep through. I know the Western Suburbs / Blue Mountains has had a lot more rain than the coast over the last 24 - 36 hours as the Easterly winds are blowing it all inland.

 

[Fluffy]

yeah, blue mountains has had heaps.

I know its an estimate dan, but its better than nothing.

looks like it is going to fine up tomorrow - luckily the drainage isnt the best at leichart

Collengata and surounding suburbs had 88mm an hour for 3 hours this morning.

We got about 200 mm overnight. Flooded everywhere but has all drained away now.

 

[Matabele]

We had 50mm out here - best rain we've had in years.

 

[Fluffy]

get any rain last night out there??

According to the website linked previously their original estimate was close, and warragmaba has risen .5% with another 2% expected today. Dont know if they allow for runoff over the next few days, but looks like it getting a little boost.

Lets hope for a repeat performance in a couple of weeks time, keep those winter crops growing

 

[Dan]

Apparantly one of the pipes was broken and a crap load of water was lost. could have got us closer to 7% or more apparantly.

 

[fLIP]

Redlands damn is full and flood gates opened last night. As did the gold coast who ended up geting 580mm over the 2 days!.
