Supporting information   


The volume of water stored in the Ord River Irrigation Area network was not recognised as a water asset as it could not be adequately quantified.

The irrigation network is used to deliver water to irrigators in the Ord River Irrigation Area and is not used to store water. The volume of water in the network fluctuates according to demand for water from Lake Kununurra. The volume of water held in the channel at any one time is negligible, and does not have a material impact on this water accounting report.
