May 2019 Keepit Dam, Gunnedah, Australia: With the dam at capacity the local sailing club's normal sailing and launch areas are high and dry.
In 2016 the dam was close to its capacity with recordings of 99% full. Water was lapping just a metre or two below the club house and the now fully exposed concrete ramp was completely covered. The extended drought and minimal inconsistent falls of rain since have lead to the dam now being unusable by the sailing club and the remaining water available for emergency use only.
