Abstract
This dataset was supplied to the Bioregional Assessment Programme by a third party and is presented here as originally supplied. The metadata was not provided by the data supplier and has been written by the programme based on known details at the time of writing.
A request was made for time series water level data for the following storages located in the CLM PAE:
Toonumbar Dam
Emigrant Creek Dam
Rocky Creek Dam
Rocky Creek and Emigrant Dam water levels were created from data supplied to the Bureau of Meteorology under the Water Regulations Act 2008.
Toonumbar Dam water levels were extracted from the following website http://realtimedata.water.nsw.gov.au/water.stm
Purpose
To be used as data for surface water modelling in Richmond River within the CLM PAE
