At the end of the month, only one station recorded flow below 10% of the long-term August average. This was the Moorabool River at Batesford, however, some flow was recorded. Two stations recorded end-of-month flow between 10 and 39% of the long-term August average. Flow at the remaining 14 stations ranged between 40 and 99% of the long-term August average.
All stations recorded end-of-month flow higher than the historical minimum for August.
