  Many at the 100% mark.

 Over all  Graph

Siggie,

I don't know Tim Flannery's exact words ...though if anyone was talking about flooding in certain areas 'as well as' our dams may never be full I wouldn't take it as meaning,all at the same place and/or time,nor meaning all of Australia nor within a certain time frame.I believe that Tim Flannery has spoken of extreme conditions and I do think that we have had those.When people speak of dams I also think of the 2 on my property and those other rural people have .

I've read complaints about the costs of drought proofing (ie;de sal)  in areas which have had flooding rain ... floods may mean 100% water supply...often though that very rain renders the water supply unusable doesn't it ? Some 'drought' proofing methods may also be useful in times of flooding ?

I'm on property and I know that an incident or two heavy  rain (without the usual/seasonal follow up rain) ...means that we are likely to need to keep buying water for our tanks and food for any stock we may have to meet our needs .

Did you see Perth's dam level is at 26.2 ? 

 (the article below is from August) .

Dam levels at record low despite deluge

Dam levels sit at their lowest in more than a decade, despite the record drenching of Perth and regional Western Australia last week.

Although on Thursday Perth recorded its heaviest rainfall since 2003, the deluge is yet to make a mark with dam levels sitting at 27.4 per cent full compared with 28 per cent for the same time last yea

Are you saying that you agree with Tims prediction that our Dams would never be full again?....

Consider, since then, many Dams have been releasing water for the last few years.....as they were over 100% capacity.

FIVE years ago, Climate Commissioner Tim Flannery predicted that the nation's dams would never be full again and major Australian cities would need desalination plants to cater for our water needs.

That's right and of course if that is the case in one City ,in one Sate of our Country ...

the same quite naturally applies to our Country as a whole 

There is more than one dam in Australia Siggie 

Iza....

Goodnes......It seems that you are.........lol......

Unsure what he said Iza - 

Flannery predicted cities such as Brisbane would never again have dam-filling rains, as global warming had caused “a 20 per cent decrease in rainfall in some areas” and made the soil too hot, “so even the rain that falls isn’t actually going to fill our dams and river systems … “.

Wrong again Tim.....

Siggie, I won't read the Telegraph as I don't credit it with being Politically non bias..

and after Slater and Gordon's actions against some of their articles in relation to their firm and our former PM they too have lost credibility as non bias imo.

QLD's desalination plants were put to use during flooding (other flooded areas may have already used them for the same reason) .It may be true that they are needed  and were needed.. especially in extreme conditions in order to meet public needs .Droughts and Floods...as floods dirty the water supply...even if it is at 100%...if that water in that 100% full dam  can't be used it's the same as having None.

In acknowledging that Perth has more than one dam,you would have to acknowledge that so to does this whole Country ... noting the water levels at Perth's dams shows very clearly  that those dams are not at 100%....and summer is ahead of us all.

Perths dams are OUR dams.
