The total active storage in rural dams on 18 November 2019 was 29.6%. This was a decrease of 0.7% since last week.

These levels will decrease more rapidly over the December, January and February period.

If no significant rainfall is received, in a worst case scenario, these levels could reach zero by August next year. This would be a catastrophic situation for Australia if it occurs
