Do you know that raising the water level in Malpas Dam by 6.49 meters would only yield 80% of the required water during drought conditions? This highlights the need to identify alternative water sources.
To address this, Armidale Regional Council explored various options, including the restoration of Oaky River Dam. These initiatives are part of a broader strategy to diversify the region's water supply and enhance long-term water security.
By investing in multiple sources, council aims to mitigate the risks associated with relying on a single water supply, especially during extreme weather events.
