Storage Levels - December 2008
Widespread above-average rainfall across the state has slowed the rate of decline in storage levels, and led to some recovery in the southern storages.
At the end of December, the total volume in the state’s major storages1 was 20.4% of capacity. This is a decrease of 0.4% over the month.
Melbourne's storages increased by 0.8% during the month to finish at 34.9% of capacity. This is 4.3% lower than at the same time last year.
Regional water storages decreased by 0.5% to finish the month at 18.5% of capacity.
