Streamflows - May 2009
At the end of the month, streamflows across Victoria had worsened since April due to below average rainfall.
No flows were recorded at 11 of the 28 representative gauging stations at the end of May. Fifteen stations exhibited flows less than 10% of the long-term average for May.
The highest flows, which were 70% of long-term May average, were recorded on the Merri River at Woodford (near Warrnambool).
Streamflows were equal to or lower than the average flow recorded in the 1982/83 drought at 24 of the 28 representative stations.
