WATER SHARING PLAN FOR THE ADELONG CREEK WATER SOURCE 2003 - REG 17

17 Flow classes

This Plan establishes the following flow classes as the basis for sharing of daily flows:

(a) very low flow class at or less than 15 megalitres/day (hereafter "ML/day"),

Note: The 15 ML/day in subclause (a) corresponds to the estimated 90 th percentile of all days with flow in February.

Note: The 15 ML/day in subclause (a) is referred to as the cease to pump and commence to pump level and is equivalent to 12 ML/day at the Batlow Road gauging station.

(b) A class flows greater than 15 ML/day and at or less than 25 ML/day,

(c) B class flows greater than 25 ML/day and at or less than 38 ML/day, and

(d) C class flows greater than 38 ML/day.

Note: The flow classes recognise climate and therefore flow variability, in accordance with section 20 (2) (c) of the Act. They have been determined based on flow information which inherently includes seasonal effects as well as evaporation and seepage losses.
