Approximations, assumptions, caveats/limitations

• For Queensland, the WAM report has included in the allocation announcements the water available at the end of the year. No information was available to separate the water available at the end of the year from the allocation announced during the year: The WAM report also provided diversions in the year. No information was available for allocation adjustment and forfeiture. Therefore it cannot be assumed that the allocation and forfeiture was zero for the year.
