Key - events in previous years means demand was met by Commonwealth environmental water or any other source means demand was partially met by Commonwealth environmental water or any other source (may be used to indicate infrastructure assisted delivery) means water not provided (or not required) Note that not all demands require water every year; drying phases are important for floodplains and temporary wetlands or streams Key - potential watering in 2017-18 means a high priority for Commonwealth environmental watering (full or partial contribution, and subject to seasonal and operational considerations) means a secondary priority for Commonwealth environmental watering, likely to be met via other means (other water holders, or natural flows) means a low priority for Commonwealth environmental watering Key - urgency of environmental demands means critical demand i.e. urgent need for water in that particular year to manage risk of irretrievable loss or damage means high demand for water i.e. needed in that particular year means moderate demand for water i.e. water needed that particular year and/or next means low demand for water i.e. water generally not needed that particular year means very low demand for water i.e. water generally not needed that particular year or the following year demand is considered at a generalised scale; there may be specific requirements that are more or less urgent within the flow regime
