Tinaroo Falls Dam has set a new spill record – 208 days!
The dam started spilling on 17 December last year in the wake of Cyclone Jasper, and has been spilling continuously since. This is its longest continuous spill since 1979, when it spilled for 205 days.
The storage level is currently at 101.4 per cent and we expect Tinaroo Falls Dam will continue spilling over the next few weeks. This is a positive sign for irrigators, as the current level of inflows will enhance the region’s water security for some time to come.
