How much water does Victoria have left?

Answer 1

Melbourne's water supply, as of 19 June 2009, is at 25.7%. This is only Melbourne, one region of Victoria. The Goulburn-Murray system provides about 70% of the state's water, and figures for individual storage areas, to date, are: * Hume Dam - 9.1% capacity * Dartmouth Dam - 21.32% * Yarrawonga Weir - 3.28% * Waranga Basin (near Rushworth) - 15.15% * Greens Lake (near Corop) - 49.53% * Lake Eildon - 12.63% * Lake Buffalo (near Myrtleford) - 59.44% * Lake William Hovell (near Cheshunt) - 48.69% * Lake Eppalock (near Bendigo) - 5.98% * Lake Nillahcootie (near Benalla) - 11.57% * Lake Mokoan (near Benalla) - 0% * Cairn Curran (near Maldon) - 1.82% * Tullaroop Reservoir (near Carisbrook) - 3.95% * Laanecoorie Reservoir (near bendigo) - 5.23% * Newlyn Reservoir (near Ballarat) - 8.93% * Hepburns Lagoon (near Ballarat) - 0.33% * Torrumbarry, Goulburn and Mildura Weirs - all at around 100% capacity, but these figures gives a bit of a false sense of security, because these weirs need to maintain high levels as they divert water further downstream.
