PART I ‑ PRELIMINARY

    1. Purposes

The purposes of this Schedule are, consistently with the laws of each State, the Agreement, the National Water Initiative and policies from time to time adopted by the Ministerial Council:

(a) to co‑ordinate the transfer between States and between valleys within the Murray‑Darling Basin, of such water entitlements and allocations as are, from time to time, determined by the Ministerial Council and specified in Appendix 1, in a way which minimises any detrimental effects upon the environment and upon other water users;

(b) to set out principles to be applied to such transfers by the Authority, State Contracting Governments and licensing authorities;

(c) to allow protocols to be made under this Schedule to supplement its provisions; and

(d) to require a State Contracting Government to notify the Authority of any intervalley transfer made within that State.

    2. Application

Subject to the laws of each State, this Schedule applies to transfers referred to in paragraph 1(a), relating to water within:

(a) the upper River Murray and the River Murray in South Australia; and

(b) regulated reaches of the Goulburn, Campaspe, Loddon and Murrumbidgee river systems; and

(c) such other sources from time to time specified in Appendix 1,

(d) for the purposes of either or both of exchange rate trade and tagged trade, as the Ministerial Council may determine from time to time.

    3. Definitions and interpretation

"cap on diversions" has the same meaning as in Schedule E;

"convert", in relation to an entitlement, means to convert an entitlement of one type, with lower reliability into an entitlement of another type, with higher reliability, or
