How are Wivenhoe Dam water releases ahead of the wet season going?
ABCSouth-east Queensland's largest dam has been releasing water for a week to help increase its capacity for the upcoming wet season. Water Minister Glenn Butcher ordered Wivenhoe Dam's drinking water storage capacity be reduced to 80 per cent. Wivenhoe Dam is located on the Brisbane River in the Somerset Regional Council area, and along with Lake Somerset, it supplies 70 per cent of south-east Queensland's water supply. To reach 100 per cent capacity again, Wivenhoe Dam would need a downpour of more than 232,000 megalitres of water. But a Seqwater spokesperson said Wivenhoe Dam's level would continue to remain at 80 per cent under the direction from the Minister for Water's temporary full supply level order.
