                <gco:CharacterString>### Overview
The hydrologic analysis that underpinned the Basin Plan Evaluation 2020 drew predominately on watercourse discharge observations made at gauging stations across the Basin. Additionally, for the end-of-system analysis done for the Coorong, Lower Lakes and Murray Mouth, observations of water levels in the Lower Lakes and measures of the diurnal tidal ratio in the Coorong were also utilised. 

The sourcing of this data was done predominately through the online water data services provided by each Basin State and the relevant attributions are made below.

                <gco:CharacterString>### Overview
The hydrologic analysis that underpinned the Basin Plan Evaluation 2020 drew predominately on watercourse discharge observations made at gauging stations across the Basin. Additionally, for the end-of-system analysis done for the Coorong, Lower Lakes and Murray Mouth, observations of water levels in the Lower Lakes and measures of the diurnal tidal ratio in the Coorong were also utilised. 

The sourcing of this data was done predominately through the online water data services provided by each Basin State and the relevant attributions are made below.
