Streamflows - April 2009
At the end of the month, streamflows showed improvement in the Alpine region and along the southwest coast. However, across most of the state, increased rainfall did not result in significant improvement to streamflows.
No flow conditions were recorded at 13 of the 28 representative gauging stations at the end of April. Fifteen stations exhibited flows less than 10% of the long-term average for April.
The highest flows, which were greater than the long-term April average, were recorded in the Alpine region on the Rose River at Matong North and the Goulburn River at Dohertys.
Streamflows were equal to or lower than the average flow recorded in the 1982/83 drought at 20 of the 28 representative stations.
