NSW Farm Dam Survey

Water availability is highly variable across NSW

  • Many parts of western NSW continue to have below average farm dam levels.
  • Dam levels in the far northwest of NSW have increased since the February Update. This is the result of surface runoff from recent rainfall events including rainfall from the ex-tropical cyclone Kirrily system.
  • The farm dam assessment was not possible for some parts of NSW due to missing data.
