under the hydrologic conditions of the Benchmark Period.
Note: E.C. stands for Electrical Conductivity, measured in S/cm.
       (2) Achievement of the Basin Salinity Target must be assessed by the Authority from time to time, using one or more of the models developed under clause 36, adapted to simulate the land and water management conditions at the time the assessment is made.

    9. Amending End‑of‑Valley Targets
       (2) The Authority, or the relevant State Contracting Government which nominated an End‑of‑Valley Target, may, following a review under clause 33 or at any other time, request the Ministerial Council to amend that target.
       (3) Where a State Contracting Government requests the Ministerial Council to amend an End‑of‑Valley Target, the Authority must consult that Government and the Committee before the Authority makes any recommendation under sub‑clause 9(4).
       (4) The Authority must recommend to the Ministerial Council whether or not the Ministerial Council should adopt a request made under sub‑clause 9(2).
       (5) In any recommendation made under sub‑clause 9(4), the Authority must set out the following:
(a) the Authority's estimate of the likely effects of meeting the nominated target on:
              (i) significant environmental, economic, social and other characteristics in the upper River Murray and the River Murray in South Australia; and
              (ii) meeting the Basin Salinity Target;
(b) the Authority's advice about whether the nominated target is contributing adequately to achieving the objectives of the Basin Salinity Management 2030;
(d) any new information about any of those matters which has become available to the Authority, since the relevant End‑of‑Valley Target was adopted by the Ministerial Council, including information that has become available to the Authority as a result of the discharge of functions and exercise of powers under the Water Act.
       (6) The Ministerial Council:
(a) may, after considering the matters set out in any recommendation made to it by the Authority, amend an End‑of‑Valley Target; and

    10. Joint program
       (1) Subject to Part VIII of the Agreement, the Contracting Governments must implement a Joint Program of Joint works and measures under this Schedule:
(a) to ensure that salinity levels of the upper River Murray and the River Murray in South Australia are appropriate for agricultural, environmental, urban, industrial and recreational uses; and
(b) which is sufficient to have the cumulative effect of offsetting predicted future increases in average daily salinity at Morgan, arising from Accountable Actions and Delayed salinity impacts, by 61 E.C. (or by such other figure determined by the Ministerial Council from time to time) before 31 December 2014.
       (2) Subject to Part VIII of the Agreement, after 31 December 2014, the Ministerial Council must
