Devastating Drought
The current 4cm level marks the culmination of a series of continuous drops in recent days, with 6cm recorded on August 28 and 9cm on August 25. This Saturday, levels briefly rose by 1cm, only to start falling again on Monday and reach a new low of 4cm on Tuesday.
Imminent Further Drops

These conditions are further exacerbated by the continued hot and dry weather.
