Dry value range: floor = VWAP minus the full seasonal allocation value (assumes every recorded trade transferred the allocation with the share), ceiling = full VWAP (assumes every trade was a dry share). LRWS values need no adjustment in seasons with a 0% LRWS determination.","note":"Per-season snapshots of permanent water entitlement (water share) values, newest first, rendered on /water-prices/permanent via lib/entitlement-prices.ts and served machine-readable at /water-prices/permanent/data.json. HRWS figures are the rounded VWAP of recorded entitlement transfers for the season. Registry records do not separate 'wet' sales (share transferred with the season's unused allocation) from 'dry' sales, so the dry value is expressed as a range: floor = VWAP minus the full seasonal allocation value (assumes every trade was wet), ceiling = full VWAP (assumes every trade was dry). LRWS carries no range when the season's LRWS determination was 0% — nothing transferred with the shares. To publish a new season, prepend a period object and update 'updated'; to revise the current season mid-year, edit the first period. All page copy, FAQs and schema derive from this file — never hardcode values in components.","updated":"2026-07-13","periods":[{"season":"2025-26","seasonShort":"WY25/26","seasonStart":"2025-07-01","seasonEnd":"2026-06-30","hrwsAllocationPct":80,"lrwsAllocationPct":0,"systems":[{"key":"goulburn","name":"Goulburn / Loddon","zoneLabel":"Zone 1A","hrws":{"vwap":4350,"allocValue":400,"dryFloor":3950},"lrws":{"price":1100}},{"key":"murray-above","name":"Murray above the Choke","zoneLabel":"Zone 6","hrws":{"vwap":4900,"allocValue":300,"dryFloor":4600},"lrws":{"price":950}},{"key":"murray-below","name":"Murray below the Choke","zoneLabel":"Zone 6B/7","hrws":{"vwap":7950,"allocValue":450,"dryFloor":7500},"lrws":{"price":2350}}]}]}
