Dam Model List

Storage forecasts

Welcome to Sunwater’s water storage forecast tool. This tool allows the public to examine 12 month outlooks for future dam water volumes across regional Queensland.

The tool plots the future 12 month dam volumes for two different dam inflow scenarios. The first plot shows the dam volumes that could be expected under the average monthly inflows that relate to each dam. The second plot is a much drier scenario and shows the dam volumes that might be possible under the minimum monthly inflows that have been experienced for each dam.

Please be aware that the forecast graphs are intended as a guide only, and are subject to many assumptions, uncertainties and Sunwater’s Terms and conditions.

Select a dam from the Dam Model List (left) to view the forecast storage model for that dam.
