The distribution model was also run with various inflow conditions tOi

diversions were routed through the system without any ponds being simulated.
'The excess outflow from the system that would occur is shown in table 4. This
:outflow is an indication of the quantity of water that would be available to
'be diverted into ponds. A linear regression relating the river diversion to
