NSW water situation ‚critical‘ amid warning towns could run dry by November – Australia Parts of regional NSW could run out of water as early as November as the state faces a drought of „unprecedented proportions“. Projections from the state’s river operator and bulk water supplier WaterNSW have revealed the worst-case scenario for NSW if there’s no significant rainfall or government intervention. Under the worst-case scenario, the first towns to lose water supply will be Dubbo, Cobar, Nyngan and Narromine in November when the Macquarie River is forecast to run dry. (LINK).
