But during the 2010 drought, the river's flow dropped precipitously low, in March reaching the lowest on record of below 320 L/s. The town had a consent to take up to 5 million litres of water per day, but normally only when the river flow was above 460 L/s. With conditions so dire, water restrictions had long been in place, and an emergency directive to continue taking water was granted. But while this drought illustrates the possible year-to-year variations about the average, how might the average flow conditions change as climate changes?

Different regions of Australia experience drought at different times. The drought currently being experienced by the southern regions is the worst on record, and has been going on for 12 years. In Queensland, some areas were drought-declared in August 2002, and are still in drought (October 2008), whereas other regions have had the drought declaration lifted, following good rainfalls earlier in 2008. A similar situation exists in Western Australia, where good farmland has been drought-declared for a number of years, but other areas have received sufficient rain to be taken off the list.

At least one region of Australia is always in a period of drought. This region may vary from north to south, east to west, etc, but because of the nature of Australia as the world's second driest continent, there is always a part of Australia in drought.
Droughts can be found in all the continents, but Australia and Africa are particularly drought-prone. At any time, there is at least one area in Australia which is a declared drought region.
