to the Ministerial Council a report upon the operation of this Schedule.

       (2) Without limiting the contents of any report prepared under sub‑clause 35(1), the Authority must include:

(a) a summary of:

(i) the Delayed salinity impacts; and
(ii) the salinity impacts of every Accountable Action undertaken before the date of the report,

 within the Murray‑Darling Basin, based on the reports prepared under clause 33 during the preceding 5 years; and

(b) a description of any additions to, or alterations of, the Joint Program proposed to ensure that the Basin Salinity Target is met, since the Authority's last report made under sub‑clause 35(1).

       (3) A report prepared under sub‑clause 35(1) may conclude that a State Contracting Government has not complied with one or more of its obligations under this Schedule.

PART VIII — MODELS

    36. Models to be developed by the Authority

       (1) Using the relevant Benchmark Period, the Authority must develop one or more models to simulate:

(a) the salinity, salt load and flow regime, each on a daily basis; and

(b) the economic effects on water users of the simulated salinity, salt load and flow regime,

        in the Upper River Murray and the River Murray in South Australia.

       (2) Any model developed under sub‑clause 36(1) must be capable of predicting:

(a) any salinity impacts of Joint works and measures and State Actions; and

(b) any Delayed salinity impacts,

        at Morgan and such other relevant locations as the Authority may determine.

       (3) A State Contracting Government must give the Authority such data about Joint works and measures, State Actions and Delayed salinity impacts, within that State, and in such form, as the Authority may from time to time request, to assist it in developing a model referred to in sub‑clause 36(1).

       (4) The Authority may, from time to time, alter a model developed under sub‑clause 36(1).

    37. Models developed by State Contracting Governments

       (1) Each State Contracting Government must develop one or more models to simulate, under Baseline Conditions, the daily salinity, salt load and flow regime, over the Benchmark Period, at each site at which compliance with an End‑of‑Valley Target is to be measured.

       (2) A model developed by a State Contracting Government must be capable of predicting the effect of:

(a) all Accountable Actions undertaken in the State ; and

(b) any Delayed salinity impacts,

        on the salinity, salt load and flow regime at each site at which compliance with an End‑of‑Valley Target is to be measured in each of 2015, 2050, 2100 and in such other years as the Authority may determine.

       (3) A State Contracting Government may, from time to time, alter a model developed under sub‑clause 37(1).

    38. Assessment and Approval of Certain Models
