† A review of reservoir volumes in 2005/2006 has resulted in ACTEW adjusting reported volumes. The change in volumes is a direct result of more accurate mapping methods used to determine volumes compared with methods used in the 1960s, when the previous volumes were calculated. A review of volumes of the Corin and Bendora reservoirs, effective 1 November 2005, has resulted in ACTEW adjusting the reported volumes from 75.4 gigalitres (GL) to 70.90 GL for Corin and from 10.7 GL to 11.54 GL for Bendora. A review of volumes of the Cotter and Googong reservoirs, effective 1 October 2006, has resulted in ACTEW adjusting the reported volumes from 4.7 gigalitres (GL) to 3.86 GL for Cotter and from 124.5 GL to 121.1 GL for Googong.
