Water flows into Sydney catchment at 'shocking' record lows

Government has not come to terms with 'unprecedented' water shortages, NSW Greens MP says

Water flows into the Sydney drinking water catchment are at a record low and less than half than they were during the millennium drought last decade, prompting more concern about the city's water security.

Previously the lowest inflows into the catchment had been 136 gigalitres in 1944. In 2004, during the height of Sydney's last water shortage during the millennium drought they fell to 234 gigalitres.
