Current Trends in overall dam levels At the overall rate of water gain in the past week in the dams, they will fill in 1075 days, less than 3 years and will overflow on 2011-6-6 . At the overall rate of water gain in the past month in the dams, they will fill in 463 days, less than 2 years and will overflow on 2009-10-2 . At the overall rate of water gain in the past year in the dams, they will fill in 6046 days, less than 17 years and will overflow on 2025-1-14 . The catchment areas would require 367 mm of rain over a fortnight period to fill the dams.
