WaterNSW has warned that without significant rain, Macquarie River will run dry, which could wipe out water supply to Dubbo, Cobar, Nyngan and Narromine by November:
The projections from NSW’s river operator and bulk water supplier WaterNSW show without significant rain the first towns to lose water supply will be Dubbo, Cobar, Nyngan and Narromine with the Macquarie River forecast to run dry by November…
It has been described as a “critical” situation by the NSW water minister, Melinda Pavey, who told reporters in Canberra on Sunday the government is doing “everything humanly possible” to make sure the state gets through this devastating drought.
