6. 15 Years Without a Wet Month Number of months per year with rainfall above the 90th percentile (updated to July 2010). Percentiles are based on the 20th century (1900-1999) climatology and are computed month by month. Acknowledgement: Bertrand Timbal (Centre for Australian Weather and Climate Research)
9. Recent trends in water markets (I): Water moves to South Australia Very little entitlement trade – all allocation … give statistic Australian Water Markets Report 2007-08, National Water Commission
Storage capacity 50% more than the average annual run-off of all rivers. Key Messages – storage capacity 50% greater than the average flow of all rivers – carryover storages essential to deal with climate variability
ADD AFTER: The proposals – reserve policy (pg 76) Benefits: Allocations earlier in the season Less risk of zero allocation years Supports fully functioning water market Costs: Slightly fewer years with full allocations Slightly reduced yield
