Please note that for the above graph:

  • Cotter Dam, the smallest of our four dams, which had not been able to be used since 1968, was reinstated and began being used in Jan 05. This added almost 4 GL of extra storage capacity to the regions water supply.
  • Bathymetry surveys were conducted at Corin and Bendora Dams in November 2005 to re-calculate the dams actual storage capacities. This resulted in an updated change to our total storage capacity from 215.4 GL to 211.6 GL.
  • Bathymetry surveys were conducted at Googong and Cotter Dams in October 2006 to re-calculate the dams actual storage capacities. This resulted in an updated change to our total storage capacity from 211.6 GL to 207.4 GL.
