Introduction

The following reconciliation tables verify:

  • how the region’s closing water storage in the Statement of Water Flows reconciles to the total water assets reported in the Statement of Water Assets and Water Liabilities
  • how the water accounting region’s change in water storage in the Statement of Flows reconciles to the change in net water assets reported in the Statement of Changes in Water Assets and Water Liabilities.
