Wyangala Dam Eyes Off 91%

The storage level of Wyangala Dam will be gradually reduced to 91% by the end of July to provide a flood mitigation buffer while work continues to repair significant flood damage to embankments at Lake Brewster and Brewster Weir, downstream on the Lachlan River.

A meeting of the Lachlan Valley airspace reference panel on 26 June gave support to a WaterNSW plan to gradually lower the Wyangala storage from the current 96% of capacity to 91% by the end of July, to provide the buffer.
