13.6.4 Delivery of allocated water transferred-in

                             

Supporting information   


The net volume delivered during 2009–10 is 0 ML.

Water is transferred inter-state or between valleys as a result from trade. However, the net delivery volume (net movement in the 2009–10) is zero because the transfers were within the Murray–Darling Basin (MDB) region (see the following table for a breakdown).

Interstate trade conducted in the southern-connected MDB represents the net movement in the 2009–10 year for each valley on the inter-valley trade accounts. This is a combination of the water delivered during the year, trades conducted between the valleys during the year, and any adjustments.

Quantification approach   


Data source

Inter-Valley Trade (IVT) Account data except for the Murrumbidgee IVT Account: Murray–Darling Basin Authority’s River Murray operations.

Murrumbidgee IVT Account data: NSW Office of Water General Purpose Water Accounting Report 2009–10: Murrumbidgee.

Data provider

Murray–Darling Basin Authority and the NSW Office of Water.

Method

The net movement has been calculated by determining the difference between the opening and closing balance of each IVT account.

Uncertainty

Uncertainty is ungraded.

Approximations, assumptions, caveats/limitations
