Storage Levels - December 2011
The total volume of water in most of Victoria’s major storages decreased this month. By the end of December, Victoria’s major storages were at 85.6% of total capacity.
The total volume in regional Victoria’s major storages fell by 2.6% to 89.0%.
However, small increases in Melbourne’s storage levels were recorded, with levels rising 1% to 66.1% of capacity. Thomson Reservoir, Melbourne’s key drought reserve, finished the month at 54.9% full, with plenty of room for improvement if a wet summer season eventuates.
