competitive trading environment and there are no guarantees that it will be able to continue to deliver forecast
dividend levels. Accordingly there is a risk that profits and dividends may fall at some future point. This is the
biggest risk to the delivery of the Council’s proposed programmes.
Over the ten years, there are fluctuations in the level of changes in general rates. Unchanged, these fluctuations

ecosystem health however, as this measurement is an ‘average’, flows do naturally fall below MALF during
prolonged periods of dry weather or drought.
Estimations of MALF are made using long term flow records but, if no records are available, it can also be
estimated using records from hydrologically similar streams. When developing estimates of MALF, flow
