Exact values: 8 of 61 town, farm and regional supplies are under 40% of accessible capacity. Power-station lakes are not in this count. Also under 40%, but excluded: Great Lake (Tasmania) at 35.1%. “Holds” means the storage is not falling toward 40% on that path. A bar at the right edge is 140 days, which is past the end of March. The chart uses this same count. Power-station lakes stay in the table below, which lists every supply followed day by day.
