Quantification Approach

Data Source

SCA and NSW Office of Water agreement; SCA database of daily requirements and releases; SCA compliance reporting to the NSW Office of Water.

Provided by

SCA.

Method

The volume is the difference between the opening balance for banked environmental water (9,795 ML), the additional water added to the bank during 2010–11 (3,100 ML) and the release from Warragamba Dam (7,532 ML).

As the volume of allocation remaining is carried over to 2012, the forfeiture for 2011 is 0 ML.

Assumptions, Limitations, Caveats and Approximations

Water remaining at the end of the reporting period is carried over into 2012.

Uncertainty Information

Based on entitlement and diversion information provided by the SCA.
