Waterways & catchments

In the future our water supplies will be under much greater pressures than today. As individuals and as a community, we need to value water as a precious resource and practice waterwise behaviours.

The Toowoomba Regional Council Water Demand Management Program is able to help in a variety of ways. See the items under water in the main menu (left) to find out more!

Did you know that rainfall in the City of Toowoomba does not contribute to our dam levels.

Toowoomba's rainfall information is collected at the Toowoomba airport and this can be very confusing for all concerned when rain reports on the radio and television don't reflect in the dam levels. Most of Toowoomba's rainwater goes into Oakey Creek, onwards to the Condamine River, the start of the Murray Darling System.

This map (left) shows the catchment areas of Toowoomba's three dams.

Congratulations to the winners of WaterWise sponsored Carnival gardens. Great results have been achieved after a wonderful effort on the part of all entrants.
