Re Warragamba Dam’s capacity

Re Warragamba Dam

The dam’s storage level as at 24.1,2003 was 93.3%.
Should this spell of heavy rain continue. it is likely the dam will spill
and cause flooding in the Hawkesbury Basin.
Heavy rainfall on the Blue Mountains south of the rail line flows to the
Warragamba upper catchment area.On the Northern side of the rail
line flows to the Grose Valley river and on to the Hawkesbury river. at
Richmond.

The authorities would possibly release some water to prevent a repetition
of last years spill and resulting flooding.
