Break of season
Assessment of the cumulative flow from the first of April for the
Yaldara gauge suggested that the inflection point occurred at
approximately 500 ML of cumulative flow in most years (Figure 2). There
were two years where the 500 ML threshold was not reached by the end of
September (2018 and 2019). Assessment from the Penrice gauge suggested
that the inflection point occurred at approximately 250 ML of cumulative
flow. There were 11 years that did not reach this threshold by the end
of September including a series of dry years from 2018 to 2021. The
apportioned flow thresholds are reported in Table 3.
