River levels in inland New South Wales are in decline despite above-average rainfall in much of the state throughout 2020.

Experts argue the last drought was so severe that catchments have lost the ability to absorb water
It means rivers are less likely to keep flowing in dry periods
It s prompted the return of water restrictions and kept irrigator allocations low, even after good rainfall
