Streamflows - December 2010
Dry and hot conditions in the last week of December reduced streamflows compared to those at the beginning of the month, and those reflected in the streamflow map at the end of November.
Of the 28 representative streamflow gauging stations, only one station in the Wimmera experienced flows less than 10% of the December average. Seven stations recorded flows above 100% of the long-term December average, located in the Murray, north-east and Glenelg river catchments. The remaining 20 stations across the State were spread evenly between 10 and 99% of the long-term December average.
At the end of the month, flow at all stations was higher than the historical minimum for December, and higher than the 2006/07 December drought flow.
