Track water storage, capacity and historical trends for major reservoirs in New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland and beyond.
Water levels at Greaves Creek remain exceptionally high. Standing at an impressive 100%, the total volume sits at 0 GL. This near-full status guarantees strong water availability for local communities and agriculture.
Fed primarily by the Greaves Creek, this reservoir plays a critical role in the South East Coast (NSW) drainage division. Hydrological health in this specific drainage basin is vital for downstream ecosystems. The South East Coast (NSW) region relies heavily on the seasonal inflows captured here.
Beyond standard municipal supply, Greaves Creek is a vital asset for the regional agricultural economy in New South Wales. Farmers and agribusinesses monitor these levels closely to plan their seasonal crop yields. Sustainable water management here ensures that both crops and livestock can survive prolonged dry spells.
The surrounding catchment of Greaves Creek also supports diverse local flora and fauna. During periods of healthy water levels, the area often sees an increase in recreational activities such as fishing, boating, and camping. Authorities must constantly balance the need for human water consumption with the ecological necessity of maintaining healthy river systems downstream.
With a mild reading of 10°C today, surface evaporation is significantly reduced, helping to preserve current volume. With 0mm of recent rainfall and partly cloudy skies, the catchment is relatively dry today.
The Bureau of Meteorology's climate outlooks will play a pivotal role in predicting the future inflows for this catchment. 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 Greaves Creek is absolutely essential.
