Carryover rules  The water sharing plan (WSP) for the New South Wales Murray and Lower Darling Regulated Rivers Water Sources carryover rules enable customers to carryover up to 50% of Class C water entitlements held in their water allocation account each season. Any volume exceeding this is forfeited at the end of the season. Carryover also influences the amount of allocation a water account can receive in the subsequent season. Under the WSP, the maximum allocation a water account can receive in any season is 110% of the water entitlements held. As demonstrated in the diagram below, carryover is added into the maximum allocation calculation. For example, if you carryover 40%, any allocation exceeding 70% will not be received.
