Streamflows - July 2008
Average rainfall during July has resulted in some improvement in streamflows in parts of Victoria, particularly in the Alpine region.
However, at the end of the month, streamflows at the representative gauging stations were still below average across the state. Flows below 10% of the long-term average for July were recorded at 15 of the 28 representative stations across Victoria.
The Goulburn River at Dohertys experienced the highest flows of the 28 representative stations, recording 68% of the long-term average for July. This was the only station to fall into the 60-70% range of long-term average streamflow.
At 16 of the 28 representative stations, stream flows were equal to or lower than the average flow recorded in the 1982/83 drought.
