Storage Levels - July 2011
The total volume of water in most of Victoria’s major storages increased during July. By the end of July, Victoria’s major storages had risen to 82.0% of total capacity. Victoria’s major storages are now holding more than 10,000 gigalitres (GL) for the first time in more than a decade.
The total volume in regional Victoria’s major storages rose by 2.1% to 85.9% during July.
Continued above average rainfall and inflows combined with low consumption saw Melbourne’s storage levels increase by 3.7% to 59.2% this month. Thomson Reservoir, Melbourne’s key drought reserve, finished the month at 45.3% full, with plenty of room for improvement during the winter/spring season.
