At each node mentioned in table 1, column 1 minimise the extent to which the 50% daily flow stated in columns 2 to 4 of the table for each water flow season for the node is equalled or exceeded in less than 35% of the days in each water flow season for the simulation period for surface water. At each node mentioned in table 1, column 1, other than node I, minimise the extent to which the 50% daily flow stated in columns 2 to 4 of the table for each water flow season for the node is equalled or exceeded in more than 65% of the days in each water flow season for the simulation period for surface water.
