expected that it will continue to be impracticable to treat the water so that it meets the relevant guideline values set out in the ADWG.

        Part 3—Monitoring, assessment and risk management
Note:  For the purposes of paragraph 86C(1)(a) of the Act, arrangements for monitoring matters that are relevant to critical human water needs are dealt with in Chapter 13.

11.06 Process for assessing inflow prediction (Act paragraph 86C(1)(b))

River Murray System
(1) The process by which the Authority must assess inflow prediction for the River Murray System involves:
            (a) monitoring the volume of inflow; and
            (b) having regard to the best available information about likely inflow, including:
                (i) tributary inflow estimates provided by the Basin States; and
                (ii) information about daily, monthly and seasonal rainfall, temperature and climate; and
            (c) regularly reviewing trends in climate and inflow patterns.

Snowy water licence
(2) The processes by which the Authority must assess inflow prediction, in relation to works that are under the control of the body that is entitled, under the Snowy Hydro Corporatisation Act 1997 of New South Wales, to the Snowy water licence within the meaning of that Act, are set out in Part III of Schedule F to the Agreement.

Inflow prediction
(3) The Authority must use the processes set out in subsections (1) and (2) to prepare a range of predictions of possible inflow into the River Murray System.

11.07 Process for managing risks to critical human water needs associated with inflow prediction (Act paragraph 86C(1)(b))
(1) The Authority must manage the risks to critical human water needs in the River Murray System associated with inflow prediction in accordance with this section.
(2) Based on the inflow predictions and other information mentioned in section 11.06 and the forecasts of water quality mentioned in paragraph 11.08(1)(e), the Authority must identify risk factors and assess the risks of the following events:
            (a) the full amount of the amount of conveyance water specified in section 11.04 will not be available;
            (b) the full amount of water to be reserved under subsection 11.12(2) will not be available;
            (c) water quality and salinity trigger points under section 11.05 will be reached.
(3) If the Authority's assessment of inflow prediction indicates that advances under clause 102C of, or Schedule H to, the Agreement may be required in a water accounting period, the Authority must identify and assess the risks to critical human water needs associated with such advances.
(4) The Authority must manage the risks to critical human water needs associated with inflow prediction by managing the operation of the River Murray System in accordance with the Agreement having regard to:
            (a) the efficient and effective operation of the River Murray System; and
            (b)
