About Perseverance
As of July 22, 2026, Perseverance is filled to 57.2% of its total capacity, holding roughly 17 hm³ of water out of a maximum 30 hm³. At this level the reservoir is within its normal operating range. Of that total, about 27 hm³ is usable (live) storage.
Over the most recent week on record the fill level has held broadly steady (-0.1 pts), and it is 6.7 points below its level on the same date a year earlier.
Across the readings we hold for Perseverance — 764 data points between July 31, 2023 and July 22, 2026 — the level has ranged from a low of 57.2% (July 22, 2026) to a high of 90.5% (March 29, 2025). On average the reservoir is fullest around August and at its lowest around June.
The dam at Perseverance was completed in 1965. It is operated by BOM primarily for water supply. It lies within the Perseverance Creek Basin basin at 27.299°S, 152.123°E.
