BoM Radar shows some rainfall in the dam catchment , I wonder if there has been any inflow or did it all soak into the ground :)

HI Rando

Was just looking at the radar and was wondering where the catchment areas are. Any maps that show that info?

Cheers Brad

My Mum lives at Esk and she guestimates about 6 inches of rain there in the last few weeks, it's not much really, but a good start. :)

Hi Blufish
The northern most point of the catchment is Imbil. #Esk is the southern boundary . I am not sure but estimate Yarraman as the western boundary of the catchment. By my estimation the catchment is about 100-120 km long and 20-30 km wide, not much really !!
I just looked up our big atlas, Macquarie World Atlas and looked where all the creeks and rivers that fed Wivenhoe ended. Most of the water that enters the dam comes off the Conandale range I think.
