Total inflows into the Murray system for the month of July were 270GL, compared to the 10-year average of 949GL. The Hume and Dartmouth reservoirs closed the month at 75.1% and 78.2% of capacity, respectively. During the month, the Hume Reservoir received total rainfall of 73.0mm, compared to the long-term average of 76.9mm. However as advised in the June update the Hume received only 7.2mm which equated to the driest June on record. Across the Murray Darling Basin the Bureau of Meteorology reported that rainfall for July was 54% below average, with the month being the 17th driest on record.
Water entitlement prices displayed little movement in the month of July. Price increases were seen in NSW Murray General Security and Victoria Murray water zones, increasing 3.0% and 1.6%, respectively. Victorian Goulburn and New South Wales High Security water zones experienced a decrease in prices 2.3% and 1.3%, respectively.
Since the commencement of the new water year, temporary water prices have increased substantially when compared to prices at the end of the last water year. Dry conditions in June and July have provided upward pressure on allocation prices in the major water zone with prices rising from $90/ML in early July to $150/ML at the end of the month.
Northern Basin
Lachlan Valley water entitlement prices remained the same in July but have increased 30.3% since the start of the year. As noted in a number of our reports, we expected this increase to continue due to strong demand from large cotton growers.

Investment Update
Permanent Water Acquisitions and Divestments
No new permanent water acqusitions or divestments occured in July. Duxton Water is currrently invested in $69 million of water entitlements.
Temporary Water Sales
In July, no allocations were sold. YTD allocation sales amount to 14,000ML.
Lease Yield
No new leases were entered into in July. The weighted average yield for long-term leases remains at 6.04% p.a.
Total Yield
Duxton Water’s yield is comprised of two streams of income: leased and unleased income. The leased income is currently at 6.04% (annualised) and the unleased income is 3.13% (running). The weighted average running yield of the two streams is 4.71%, equating to a forecast full year yield of 5.94%.
On 1st July 2017, the new water year commenced, meaning that the allocation balances have now been reset. This will positively impact the unleased component of Duxton Water’s income as we have received additional allocations to sell throughout the remainder of the Company’s financial year (June-December). In addition to the reset allocation balances, the Company has carried over some NSW General Security water into the new water year. Allocations carried over will be sold in the new water year at a higher water prices compared to the 2016/17 water year. As such, we expect the unleased income stream to increase as allocations are sold.
