NOTES
1. Watercourse diversions under the Baseline Diversion Limit - arrangements as at 30 June 2009 under conditions from 1895 to 2009.
2. State shares of the 143 GL Northern Basin shared reduction are yet to be nominated. State shares of the 971 GL Southern Basin shared reduction are: Victoria 425.3 GL (43.8%), NSW 458.0 GL (47.2%), ACT 4.9 GL (0.5%) and South Australia 82.8 GL (8.5%) - refer Basin Plan, section 6.05(3)
3. Includes NVIRP Stages 1 and 2.
4. Current LTDLE factors (v2.05) agreed to by Ministerial Council in November 2011.
5. BDL estimate based on work between MDBA and NSW, but local water reduction determined based on SEWPaC estimate of water recovered as part of the Toorale purchase. No further recovery required for local needs.
6. EMLR, Marne-Saunders and SA Non Prescribed BDLs include volume of interception (these are 13 GL/y, 2.9GL/y and 3.5GL/y respectively).
Recovery effort not contributing to 'bridging the gap'
7. The Lachlan - the amount of water recovered exceeds the local reduction amount by 17GL, and as the Lachlan is a disconnected SDL resource unit, accordingly this 17GL has not been used in figures relating to the reduction of 2,750 GL.
Intersecting Streams - this data includes unregulated water entitlements acquired from the NSW Government relating to its purchase of Toorale Station. As part of the Intersecting Streams Unregulated and Alluvial water sharing plan, an additional entitlement has been issued to the Commonwealth – unregulated river special additional high flow entitlement. This is a new class of
entitlement and at this time there is no long-term average annual yield factor available to estimate the recovery volume for this entitlement. At this stage, the unregulated river special additional high flow entitlement has not been counted towards 'bridging the gap'.
ADDITIONAL NOTE
8. All numbers are rounded to the nearest GL unless displayed in greater detail.
