       (2) The Authority may at any time, with the consent of either New South Wales or Victoria, determine that certain quantities of water in transit in the upper River Murray are surplus to the requirements of that State and reallocate the whole or part of such quantities from that State to the other State.

    114. Efficient Regulation of the River Murray

Any water used by either New South Wales or Victoria or supplied to South Australia by either of those States is deemed to be provided from water allocated to that State and the Authority may, as necessary to ensure the availability of appropriately allocated water at the place of such use or supply, reallocate quantities of water in the upper River Murray but must not thereby alter the total quantities of water allocated to New South Wales or Victoria respectively, in the upper River Murray.

    115. Accounting Procedures

Subject to clauses 112, 113, 114, 116 and 121, the quantity of water in any part of the upper River Murray and which is allocated to either New South Wales or Victoria is deemed:

(a) to increase in any period by the quantity of water allocated to that State flowing into that part in that period; and

(b) to decrease in any period by any quantities of water ‑

(i) used by that State by way of diversion or loss from that part in that period; or
(ii) passed from that part in that period for ‑

(iii) released from that part in that period and determined under clause 122 to be a release of water allocated to that State; or
(iv) spilled from that part in that period and deemed under clause 117 to be a spill of water allocated to that State.

    116. Internal Spills

       (1) In any major storage, water allocated either to New South Wales or Victoria must be re‑allocated to the other State to prevent the quantity of water allocated to either State in the storage exceeding half the lesser of:

(a) the target capacity of the storage; or

(b) the quantity of water stored when releases are being made for flood mitigation.

       (2) In Hume and Lake Victoria, "target capacity" means the capacity of the reservoir at the Full Supply Level.

       (3) In Dartmouth "target capacity" means the lesser of:

(a) the capacity of the reservoir at the Full Supply Level; or

(b) the quantity of water stored when water is being released through the hydro‑electric power station and the storage
