More than one third of New South Wales is officially no longer in drought after regular rain this year helps parts of the state's central west, south coast and Sydney Basin to recover from one of the worst droughts on record.

"A lot of the older guys around here will say that every big drought breaks with a big flood and so far we haven't seen a big flood on the Lachlan ."Regional towns working hard to retain water

Wyangala Dam near Cowra missed out on a lot of the rain that has fallen so far this year, but has finally received some inflows. "Town water security has certainly improved particularly in the hardest hit valleys but that comes from a situation where there was great pressure on that water security," Mr Webber said.Orange has been on the second highest level of water restrictions since October 2019.
