Track water storage, capacity and historical trends for major reservoirs in New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland and beyond.
Water levels at Clarendon are well within positive historical averages. With a current fill rate of 84.3%, the reservoir contains 24 GL. This volume provides a solid foundation for both urban and agricultural demands across Queensland.
Agriculture in the surrounding areas of Queensland depends heavily on the water security provided by Clarendon. Farmers and agribusinesses monitor these levels closely to plan their seasonal crop yields. Without the buffer provided by this massive 24 GL storage, regional farming would face extreme volatility.
The surrounding catchment of Clarendon also supports diverse local flora and fauna. When capacity allows, Clarendon becomes a hub for regional tourism and water sports. However, environmental flow releases must be carefully balanced to protect downstream river health.
Current local temperatures are sitting at a moderate 18°C. With 0mm of recent rainfall and clear sky skies, the catchment is relatively dry today.
Looking ahead, the trajectory of Clarendon's water levels will depend heavily on upcoming seasonal rainfall patterns. Continuous telemetry and advanced hydrological modeling are employed to forecast storage changes. Given the unpredictable nature of Australia's climate, from La Niña flooding to El Niño droughts, maintaining a dynamic operational strategy for Clarendon is absolutely essential.
