With no more rain expected, I think we’ll end up at around 95%. Maybe we’ll reach the average. It all depends on how much fell at the reservoir, and if any fell as snow, which has an impact on the metering, no?

I generally have a lot of flowers in the garden, I've been gardening in the same place for over 40 years. Every year I water them just the same. If I lived in a place with a genuine water shortage, perhaps I'd change but I keep an eye on the water reservoir and act accordingly.
