any period mentioned in subclause 95 (1) of the Agreement South Australia may resume storing deferred water in the Menindee Lakes Storage for the purpose of private carry‑over and for meeting critical human water needs.

Calculation of additional dilution flows
       (7) Any volume of deferred water stored in any major storage must be excluded from any calculation of the total volume of water held in that storage for the purposes of determining any additional quantity of water for dilution under paragraph 88 (c) of the Agreement.

    24. Adjustments of accounts between major storages other than Menindee Lakes Storage
       (1) Subclause (2) applies whenever the Authority estimates that, unless the account established under subclause 20 (1) for a major storage other than Dartmouth Reservoir is adjusted, the volume of deferred water in the account may be greater than the volume by which the total volume of water held in storage exceeds the volume held in storage at the minimum operating level of that major storage.
       (2) The Authority must, whenever possible:
(a) credit the account for deferred water stored in a major storage (the upstream storage) upstream of the major storage in subclause (1) (the downstream storage) with a volume equivalent to the difference between the volumes mentioned in subclause (1); and
(b) reduce the balance of the account for deferred water stored in the downstream storage to the volume by which the total volume of water held in storage exceeds the minimum operating level of that downstream storage.
       (3) Whenever the Authority estimates that, unless the  account established under subclause 20 (1) for Dartmouth Reservoir is adjusted, the volume of deferred water in the account may be greater than the volume by which the total volume of water held in storage exceeds the volume held in storage at the minimum operating level of Dartmouth Reservoir, the Authority must, whenever possible:
(a) credit the account for deferred water stored in Hume Reservoir with a volume equivalent to the difference between those two volumes; and
(b) reduce the balance of the account for deferred water stored in Dartmouth Reservoir by the same volume.

    25. Accounting for transmission losses during regulated flows
       (1) Subclause (2) applies whenever flows from major storages are regulated and wholly contained within river channels.
       (2) The Authority must not reduce the volume of deferred water credited to an account by any amount attributable to transmission losses incurred in:
(a) delivering deferred water from a major storage to South Australia; or
(b) transferring deferred water to a downstream major storage.

    26. Accounting for transmission losses during other periods
       (1) Subclause (2) applies during any period when:
(a) water spilling from a major storage is taken to be deferred water
