ANNUAL CLOUD SEEDING PROGRAM BEGINS

摘要

Hydro Tasmania Energy Market and Analysis manager, Dr Michael Connarty, said the state's hydro storages had seen one of the lowest inflows on record. "The simple fact is that it is not raining in Tasmania," Dr Connarty said. "Over the last 10 years the rainfall has been below average. Currently our storages are at 20.9 per cent full overall. Great Lake, one of Hydro Tasmania's most important storages, has further declined to 13.3 per cent full as a result of the lowest inflow on record for that storage over the past 12 months. This is 11 per cent less than at the same time last year."
