Short answer: Farm dam water levels across NSW have continued to fall as dry conditions persist without meaningful rainfall to replenish storages. Farmers relying on dam water for livestock and irrigation are facing increasing pressure as reserves dwindle. Proactive water management and investment in dam capacity are critical during these extended dry periods.
NSW Farm Dam Water Levels Still Falling With No Reprieve
The total active storage percentage of rural water supplies in NSW dams on 11 November 2019 was 30.3%. This was a decrease of 0.4% since last week.
