Dam levels in SEQ.

[rayken1938]

Extract from SEQ waters website.
Good to see so many dams full. Bill Gun and Claredon seems to be the only ones that could do with a good inflow. Even Atkinsons is up to 90%.
Looks like there will be some good fishing downstream of the ones that are spilling.
Be better if a couple of the weirs would wash away.
Cheers
Ray.


The Grid Twelve and Grid Three % Full is calculated by dividing the combined current capacity of the dams in the group by the combined full supply capacity.

* Full supply capacity does not include flood mitigation capacity, which varies across each dam.

There must be something politically incorrect in showing the dams as being over 100% full ...

Any news on Cressbrook's level?
It's owned by Toowoomba City Council and not SEQWater, I think.

hi mike i read an article today that said they were pumping water up to towoomba from wivenhoe to help releive the water shortage i would think that would be going into cressbrook would that be right

[Mike Delisser]

Thanks Al, it's only a small pipe though, I was hoping Cressbrook may have had an inflow from all the rain.
Hey mate, do you still have that alloy mesh I wanted to buy off you for a trailer plank?

[warrior]

sorry mike i couldnt keep in in the yard for any longer and put it on a mates trailer

G day charlyville
Some lakes are used for flood mitigation so 100% is actually probably 70%( not correct % but an estimate). wivenhoe was built for this purpose after 1974 flood
Then of course there is the overfull amount that most are releasing now

Please let me know if you can get another then, thanks

Sorry for the tangent guys.

Wow! Cressbrook up from 23% to 27% in the last week, makes you wonder what they did wrong up there.

Infomation from a good sourse, Pumping water for 9 hrs costs $32,000 off peak.
24 hrs pumping costs over $100,000
