home Water Rainfall

Rainfall recorded in Perth for the 24 hours to 9am on Thursday, 28 August 2008 was 0 mm

We rely on rainfall to soak the catchments surrounding our dams so they receive a steady inflow over the winter months. We have received 622.6mm of rain so far this year (January to August).

Nearly half of the water that supplies Perth comes from dams in the Darling Range and the South West of the State. The total capacity of our Perth and South West dams is 622 gigalitres. Currently the combined storage is 253.12 gigalitres, 40.7% of their total capacity.
