The idea behind this blog is very simple. To display a corrected graph of Sydney's water storage.
What prompted this was two fold.
1. To date - December 16th 2006 - the Sydney Catchment Authority has not created charts for the December 2006 measurements.
The raw data can be found at their web page here:
http://www.sca.nsw.gov.au/dams/bydate_index.html
It is a concern that they have stopped this (maybe only temporary) - so I have decided to create my own graphs based on their data. Primarily for my own interest.
2. The Sydney Catchment Authority charts add the deep water storage to the normal water storage data. Based on recent reports however, this deep water storage is undrinkable and should not have been added to the overall storage levels. There are many articles that discuss this, but here is an example: The Age
So I believe the charts here are a much more accurate assessment of where Sydney stands on the water storage front. This is not propaganda - all data is taken from the Sydney Catchment Authority - it is just being displayed differently.
