Hi Steve,
Attached is a link to streamflow into dams in Perth Australia, which was used in a recent Climate Report on Australia, and used to as evidence that rainfall is not resulting in surface water (and ground water).
http://www.watercorporation.com.au/D/dams_streamflow.cfm
I have serious doubts in the calculations the Perth Watercorp have done to produce this, since in about 7 of the last 10 years, our winter rainfall was average(compared to 1911-2011), and yet streamflow was lower than ever?! Particularly compared to pre 1971 years.
I reckon there is a flaw in the calculation, most likely around how much water overflowed the dams.
Have you come across a similar calc in US water supply stats?
Cheers
Insomnia strikes again and I’ve just perused about the last 40 posts. The historical bits are really fascinating, esp. when taken in a single gulp as I just did – I was struck once again by how many things Michael Crichton got right about Catastrophic Climate Change in just one book & a few speeches/essays. The following was the closing of a lecture he gave on risk, with a sub-theme on CCC (from memory, so it will not be exact):
“Floods, hurricanes, droughts, tornadoes, blizzards, swarms of locusts – it’s not the end of the world, it is our world. I think it’s time we grew up and accepted it.”
Dunno! the guys in the background aren’t complaining much.
Right, I allow myself one sexist remark a day and that was it.
