Supporting information

Method

For each surface water irrigation scheme supply licence, the licensed water management year is 1 July to 30 June. At the end of the water management year, any unused allocation is forfeited. Therefore, the allocation remaining at 30 June 2012 is zero, as shown in the following table.
