Notes to : A. As indicated by hydrological modelling undertaken by the Murray Darling Basin Authority (northern Basin review and in developing the Basin Plan) testing outcomes for flow indicators under a number of different water recovery scenarios to meet tributary catchment targets and the shared reduction for the Barwon-Darling system B. Ongoing in-stream use of unregulated Commonwealth entitlements ('passive management') will contribute to all listed demands. Contributions from unregulated entitlements are subject to suitable flow events and are determined by the characteristics of each particular flow (peak, duration, losses) and the access conditions of held entitlements. C. Potential for active management is based on demand (antecedent conditions, required frequencies of flows) and whether active management is in scope for the demand. The larger volume demands are generally out of scope because it is unlkely to be feasible to obtain the additional volume and/or funding to make a significant contribution to these demands. Potential does not relate to the likelihood of a suitable flow event occuring in 2016-17, which cannot be predicted. Implementation will always be subject to a suitable unregulated trigger flow.
