Modelled outcome — Operational savings
Project savings versus all-alternative supply; not a distributable investment yield or a licence resale value.
Delivered water
630 ML
After physical losses
Own-source cost
$0.152/m³
Excludes capital recovery
Annual savings
$408,400
Against all-alternative supply
Project NPV
$2,490,397
No terminal asset value
Physical supply bridge
Available water is capped by extraction capacity and demand adjusted for loss.
| Water balance | ML |
|---|---|
| Available authorised volume | 700 |
| Actual raw extraction | 700 |
| Delivered to operations | 630 |
| Backup supply required | 20 |
Annual operating economics
Backup supply fills shortfalls at the alternative-water price.
| Annual economics | USD |
|---|---|
| All-alternative supply baseline | $520,000 |
| Source purchase / allocation | $0 |
| Energy, treatment & delivery | $82,600 |
| Fixed operation + permit costs | $13,000 |
| Backup water | $16,000 |
| Annual savings before tax | $408,400 |
| Initial infrastructure | $250,000 |
Backup water is assumed available. If it cannot be secured, this model overstates continuity: assess lost production separately. Environmental flows must already be reflected in authorised volume.
No licence resale value, water retail revenue or crop profit is included. Infrastructure lasts the full project life, without replacement capital and with zero residual value; evaluate renewal and engineering costs separately.
