(1) At the commencement of this Plan the water requirements of holders of domestic and stock rights are estimated to be a total of:

(a) 0.078 ML/day within this surface water source, comprising:

(i) 0.03 ML/day in Zone 1,

(ii) 0.02 ML/day in Zone 2,

(iii) 0.008 ML/day in Zone 3, and

(iv) 0.02 ML/day in Zone 4

(b) 111.2 ML/yr within this groundwater source.

(2) This Plan recognises that the exercise of domestic and stock rights may increase during the term of this Plan.

Note: Increase in use of domestic and stock rights may occur as a result of an increase in the number of landholdings fronting rivers and lakes in this surface water source or an increase in the number of landholdings overlying this groundwater source, and/or as a result of the increase in the exercise of basic landholder rights by existing landholders.

Note: It is not recommended that the water from this groundwater source be consumed without prior treatment. Land use activities may have polluted the groundwater in some areas.
