Water inflows into Snowy Scheme storages for April and May, while slightly improved from the previous three months, were still below average, Snowy Hydro said today.
“Overall, our water position for the year remains well below average and storages continue to be at very
low levels as a result of the major drought that continues to impact the region,” the company said in a statement.
“The current water levels in Lake Jindabyne will not have any affect on town water supplies or environmental releases into the Snowy River and are now expected to stabilise at around their current level.
“It is expected that water levels in Lake Eucumbene will continue to drop over June, to levels similar to the same time last year, as Snowy Hydro meets its water licence and electricity obligations.
“Water levels in Lake Eucumbene are expected to stabilise in July with the usual seasonal improvements in inflows starting to occur across all Snowy Scheme water storages in winter and spring.”
