Storage Levels - November 2008
At the end of November, the total volume in the state’s major storages1 was 20.8% of capacity. This is a decrease of 0.5% over the month.
Melbourne's storages decreased by 0.2% during the month to finish at 34.1% of capacity. This is 5.9% lower than at the same time last year.
Regional water storages decreased by 0.6% to finish the month at 19.0% of capacity.
Close-to-average and above-average rainfall across the state has slowed the rate of decline in storage levels, and led to some recovery in the south and Gippsland regions.
