Daly: Statement of Water Flows
The volume of water in the region's storages decreased by 336,000 ML during the 2015–16 year. This decrease represents the decrease in water volume in the region's aquifers. This is the region's fourth consecutive annual drop in aquifer storage.
The Statement of Water Flows is provided in the table below. The statement presents the actual water flows associated with the water stores of the region that occurred during the reporting year, including flows corresponding to the accrual transactions shown in the Statement of Changes in Water Assets and Water Liabilities.
Items in the statements are hyperlinked to the associated section of the Statement details. Methods used to derive item volumes are provided in the Reference information.
