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.
