| Water level in Poulaphouca reservoir |
Water level has increased by 30 cm from the same time yesterday, equivalent to 6.78 million cubic metres (m³) for the 22.6 square kilometre lake. That's despite the 2.94 million m³ of water discharged in the past day from Golden Falls dam. Although discharges for Golden Falls were forecast to be 45 m³/s at four points in the day yesterday, flow stats showed that they were 34 m³/s, averaged over the whole day. Possibly this was due to lower-than-forecast discharges in the evening or at midnight today. Water level under the bridge in Kilcullen circa 8 pm last night had dropped by about 4 inches.
The ESB press office has just contacted me with details about "theoretical highest level possible" at the dams. More info later.
