    6. Inability to contribute to Conveyance Reserve
       (1) If, at any time after 1 September in any year, the Authority considers that insufficient water may be distributed to a State in the year for the State to make the contribution of the State to the conveyance reserve determined under subclause 102D (4) of the Agreement, it must tell the Committee:
(a) its estimate of the volume of any shortfall in that State's contribution; and
(b) whether it considers that there is sufficient water in the River Murray System to meet the conveyance reserve.
       (2) In considering whether there may or may not be sufficient water under subclause (1), the Authority must have regard to:

       (2) If the Committee determines that an advance to a State is required under subclause (1), the Authority must:
(a) increase the water available for distribution to the State by the volume of the advance determined by the Committee; and
