 Perth's Seasonal Rainfall
Rainfall has implications for everyone, and in particular, agriculture and other water using businesses, parks and gardens, rivers, estuaries and the environment.
The Department of Water is taking a proactive approach in responding to the season as per last year.
The department is acting now to minimise impacts this summer and next year as much as possible, and is a leader in a whole of government approach to sensibly managing the state's water resources.
