Supporting information   


The volume reported in the water accounting statement (199 ML) represents allocations for stock and domestic groundwater licences issued in the Northern Adelaide Plains Prescribed Wells Area (PWA). Stock and domestic groundwater allocations only occur in the Northern Adelaide Plains PWA when there is a request to extract water for stock and domestic water purposes on a bore licenced for another purpose, typically irrigation. No other prescribed areas in the Adelaide region have stock and domestic groundwater allocations. Stock and domestic extraction is more usually associated with a basic right.
