* Full supply capacity does not include flood mitigation capacity, which varies across each dam.
** Combined (Wivenhoe, Somerset, North Pine) is a weighted average, calculated by dividing the combined current capacity of the three dams by the combined full supply capacity.
From 1 September 2009, Seqwater is publishing dam level information based on actual rather than nominal full supply capacity. Dam level information published previously were based on nominal capacities and may have included some minor historical assumptions and rounding. While this may have little if any noticeable impact on published dam levels, by moving to actual dam level information Seqwater is seeking to provide the most accurate up to date information about the region’s water storages.
