the Coorong, including relating Lake level to release volumes;
            (c) incorporate Upper South East inflows as at 30 June 2009;
            (d) incorporate updated environmental watering event time‑series for without development and baseline model runs in the environmental event selection tool;
            (e) remove the operation of the Living Murray works and use the component of the Living Murray water that was used by the works for floodplain outcomes;
            (f) incorporate environmental demand sequences that manage for maximum dry spell as well as frequency; and
            (g) set environmental flow demands for the Goulburn River consistent with the flow event targets described in MDBA 2012a.
Note: Refinements to the MDBA model run 847 will be undertaken in consultation with Basin jurisdictions through the Basin Officials Committee.
(2) The benchmark pattern of reliability of supply to entitlement holders for subparagraph 7.15(1)(d) is that provided for in the benchmark model run.
(3) A supply contribution assessed against the benchmark model run under this method:
            (a) will incorporate the relevant notified measures, which may include:
                (i) new works or measures not included in the benchmark model; or
Note: As the Living Murray works and measures have been removed from the benchmark model under S6.02(1)(e) above, the full benefit of them can be considered for an SDL adjustment.
                (ii) existing works and measures to the extent that they can be further optimised; and
Note: This includes policy settings incorporated in or assumed for the purposes of the benchmark modelling run.
            (b) must take into account the following policy settings included in the benchmark model to the extent that, at the time the method is applied, the specific settings used in the benchmark model are not expected to be, or were not, implemented by 2019:
                (i) crediting of environmental return flows for downstream environmental use; and
                (ii) the ability to call held environmental water from storage during un‑regulated flow events.
Note: In finalising these policies, Basin States and the Commonwealth would need to ensure any associated third party impacts associated with these policies are assessed and addressed as appropriate.

S6.03 Indicator sites and regions that are to be used
(1) The indicator sites, and corresponding river reaches and associated floodplains, that are to be used are those used in the development of the Environmentally Sustainable Level of Take (ESLT) method (the ESLT method) for which detailed assessments of environmental water requirements were done.
Note: Refer to MDBA 2011, 2012a, 2012b.
(2) Each reach is to incorporate one hydrologic indicator site (HIS) used in the ESLT method for which detailed assessments of environmental water requirements were done.
Note: The ESLT method involved detailed assessments at 24 sites/reaches across the Basin: refer to MDBA 2012b.
(3) The regions to be
