(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 level is above the level specified by the Ministerial Council for the operation of the power station.

       (4) In Menindee Lakes "target capacity" means the greater of the capacity:

(a) at the Full Supply Level; or

(b) at such higher level as may be determined from time to time by the Ministerial Council.

       (5) When water in Dartmouth Reservoir is to be re‑allocated under sub‑clause (1) and there is capacity in Hume Reservoir available to the State from which water is to be re‑allocated to store some or all of the re‑allocated water, a compensating adjustment must be made in Hume Reservoir so that the accounts of the State from which the water is to be re‑allocated in Dartmouth Reservoir are not thereby reduced.

    117. Accounting for Spill from Storages

Any quantity of water spilled from any of the upper River Murray storages, including water released solely to provide space for the retention of floodwaters, is deemed to be water spilled out of the waters allocated to New South Wales or Victoria respectively, in such proportions as minimizes the re‑allocation of water under sub‑clause 116(1).

    118. Accounting for Releases from Dartmouth Reservoir

       (1) Whenever the storage level in Dartmouth Reservoir is above the level determined for the purposes of this sub‑clause by the Ministerial Council, releases made from Dartmouth Reservoir through the hydro‑electric power station will be deemed to be spills and will be accounted for as provided in clause 117.

       (2) No release from Dartmouth Reservoir will be attributable to the allocation of water to New South Wales or Victoria if the quantity of water in Dartmouth Reservoir allocated to that State is less than or equal to half the minimum operating storage in the reservoir.

       (3) Releases from Dartmouth Reservoir other than those covered by sub‑clauses (1) and (2) will be attributable to the allocation of water to New South Wales or Victoria in such proportions as tend most to equalize the quantities of water allocated to those States in Hume Reservoir.

    119. Accounting for Releases from Hume Reservoir

       (1) Any release made from Hume Reservoir for the deliberate purpose of transferring water to Lake Victoria for use at a later date will be attributable to the allocation of water to New South Wales or Victoria in such proportions as tend most to equalize the quantities of water allocated to the respective States in Lake Victoria and the Menindee Lakes Storage.

       (2) Releases from Hume Reservoir other than
