Daly: Statement of Water Flows

for the year ended 30 June 2019

  • The volume of water in the region's storages decreased during 2018–19 for the second successive year.
  • This decrease mainly represents the change in water volume in the region's aquifers.

 

The Statement of Water Flows is provided below and presents the actual water flows associated with the region's water stores during the year, including flows corresponding to the accrual transactions shown in the Statement of Changes in Water Assets and Water Liabilities.
