How much rain has fallen in our catchments?


The rainfall figures below show the average rainfall across each of the Sydney Catchment Authority's drinking water catchments. While the rainfall at isolated locations may be much greater, average rainfall provides a better indication of the rain across the entire catchment area and the subsequent inflows to our dams.
