SA Banker’s Briefing on the MDB Prof. Mike Young Research Chair, Water Economics and Management The University of Adelaide SA Banker’s Briefing, Friday 15th June 2007

2 Caveat This is presentation is offered by an independent observer who is not fully informed, who does not have access to all the information necessary to make reliable predictions about the future and who has no training in the provision of financial advice. Before making any decisions associated with investments reliant upon the health or otherwise of the River Murray, independent advice as to the State of the River Murray and likely nature of government policy decisions pertaining to this resource should be obtained.

12 Indicative Water Availability in 07/08 Current estimate of water availability Low Reserves Remain - 'Normal' Sharing Arrangements - Reserves may remain depleted - Consider building strategic reserve for 2008/09 - Effective markets Transition Zone - transition back to normal water sharing arrangements - limited 2007/08 allocations Special Arrangements - Normal Agreement sharing suspended - Don’t get 1850 GL to SA - Contingency Measures Required - Carryover able to be progressively allocated - Markets limited Contingency Arrangements - Repeat 2006/07 inflows - Normal Agreement sharing suspended - Contingency Measures Required - Markets inoperable Source: Craik, MDBC

13 Water accounting bottom lines At 1850 GL, SA is nearly over-allocated! Evaporative losses ~ GL Urban and industrial allocation 650/5 = 130 GL Irrigation ~ 500 GL A bit for the Coorong and to flush salt ~ 120 GL Total ~ GL Options under worse case scenario 1.Close parts of the system (Lower Lakes, Bonney & wetlands) 2.Lower the River (but salinity) 3.Empty Snowy (very expensive)

14 Policy recommendations 1.Any announcement made must be bankable 2.Speedy, unrestricted basin-wide trading 3.Put Adelaide on tougher restrictions 4.Unrestricted carry-forward 5.Govt. buy-up and lease back for two years to resolve over-allocation 6.Don’t invest in subsidised infrastructure upgrades until we see how the system responds to less water 7.New agreement and new governance system
