AN OBSERVATION OF THE CONFLUENCE OF STATISTICAL ABERRATIONS, DAM

UPDATES :
November 2008. This website is maintained as it was in April 2008. Currently the
Dam levels are around 40% and, with the addition of the Grid, should be
maintained around that percentage. The next "uncommon meteorological event" will fill
the Dams to overflow. This event will show that that the actions of "uncommon events",
being Monsoons, Cyclones or Large Rainfall Depressions that generally cover all
of SEQ, is
again misunderstood and that they are the major source of our water supply. Our
current storage capacity is insufficient to deal with them. The historical
fundamental flaw of
the cancellation of the Wolfdene Dam (1989) is being repeated in reverse at
Traveston Crossing in the Mary Valley. See "Home" page for further
updates.
