I took a look see at Cataract Dam, just a little southwest of Sydney today.
The Dam level is way below what was apparently ever believed would happen
I had no idea that there would actually be an Island in the middle of the Dam area, but there it is exposed by the low level.............We need so much rain. Conversly the State Govt. should set up some coastal catchments and pump water back into the larger catchments. There is plenty of coastal rainfall relatively speaking, but in any event things are looking grim here abouts.
