They are currently, right now, as we speak, even though it's raining cats and dogs outside at the moment, it is being drained of its water to what is expected to be a really, really, really low level.

that's local, you know, which is one of the reasons why I've been fighting for a number of years to try and keep the Beaconsfield Reservoir open and and actually keep it as a reservoir not drain it yeah and open it up to the public because it's a it's a something that a lot of people don't know exists anyway right because it has been locked away from the public for decades and decades but Once it's gone, once they drain it and this reservoir is gone around this beautiful native bushland, right, it's gone forever.
