Water availability in the Daly region's aquifer storages increased during the 2016–17 year; however, the actual volume of water available could not be quantified. Water availability is represented by the net water assets, which are the volume of water in storages minus the water liabilities.
The Statement of Water Assets and Water Liabilities is provided in the table below. The statement presents the volume of water assets, and water liabilities at the start and end of the reporting year.
