41.4 Transfer of water into storages
The volume of water transferred into surface water storages during the 2010–11 year was 13,685 ML. The volume is made up of transfers from rivers and from the urban water system. The transfers occur as part of urban water operations. For example urban water is released to surface water for transportation to urban water offtakes located downstream. The source and destination of the transfers are itemised in the following table.
|Urban water system – Mannum–Adelaide Pipeline
|Urban water system – Mannum–Adelaide Pipeline||Millbrook Reservoir
|Torrens River at GumerachaWweir
|Urban water system – Millbrook Tanks||Little Para Reservoir
While water is diverted from Gumeracha Weir to Millbrook Reservoir, this volume could not be quantified as data were not available.
The volumes of water transfered into surface water storages in the 2010–11 year were obtained from SA Water's SCADA database and/or MetDaily file.
Assumptions, Limitations, Caveats and Approximations
This is a metered volume. It has an estimate of +/– 10% due to meter calibration.
