The table below details the calculation of the adjustment and forfeiture of allocation on regulated flows of other lumped holders.

WRP = water resource plan
Lower Lockyer water supply scheme (WSS) has a water year from 1 April to 31 March. All unused Lower Lockyer WSS allocations at 30 June 2010 were not regarded as forfeiture but rather as carryover. Further information can be found in line item 8.1.2.7 Allocation on regulated flows remaining – other lumped holder.
This line item includes not only forfeiture, but also adjustments on the allocations. In some WSSs, allocation announcements were made for distribution loss entitlements. These allocations cover conveyance losses from delivering water for other allocations. All distribution loss allocation usage has been included as adjustments in this line item.
The Moreton, Logan Basin and Gold Coast resource operation plans (ROPs) did not come into effect until December 2009. Regions such as Central Brisbane, Stanley, Pine Valley and Cressbrook Creek became WSSs once the ROP was implemented. Reporting of metered usage within these regions was not required until this time. Some WSSs do not need to report metered use until the 2010–11 financial year. Although entitlements, allocations and diversions still occurred for the full reporting year within these regions, the diversion volumes for the allocations were not included in the water accounting statements as they could not be quantified accurately due to a lack of available data. As a result, the allocation diversions presented in the water accounting statements show a false low volume and the forfeiture a false high volume within the Moreton water resource plan (WRP) area.
All diversions associated with allocations on regulated flow other than high-security urban holders could not be identified into use or entitlement security categories. This resulted in diversions and forfeiture other than high-security urban holders being lumped into the allocations or diversions ‘other lumped holder’. For information on urban water use, please refer to the specific line items:
The table below shows the surface water allocation carryover reconciliation.
| Allocation category | Opening balance (ML) | Announcement (ML) | Allocation diversion (ML) | Forfeiture (ML) | Closing balance (ML) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| High-security urban | 0 | 422,930 | 175,727 | 247,203 | 0 |
| High-security other | 0 | 20,860 | 20,324 | 64,682 | 0 |
| General-security other | 4,534 | 71,288 | 11,676 |
