Landscape water store

As discussed in Physical description, the landscape water store has been excluded from the Adelaide Region in the 2010 Account; therefore, landscape terms do not appear in the water-accounting statement. However, the landscape terms are included in the notes because they provide useful context for understanding the items in the water-accounting statement.

The following table shows the opening and closing balance for the landscape store.
