They have no choice but to open the dam at Townsville..

What I do not understand regarding this is that the dam is at 180% capacity.
How does that happen? Surely there are overflow channels?

@TheOneyouwerewarnedabout Spillways operate at slightly above 100% capacity. But this dam is at 188%?

I think 100% is recommended integrity? They’ve allowed it to get higher? Summer and all 🤔@Gusman
