WATER SHARING PLAN FOR THE MANDAGERY CREEK WATER SOURCE 2003 - REG 45

45 Total daily extraction limits

(1) This Plan establishes a total daily extraction limit (hereafter "TDEL") for each flow class as follows:

(a) Zone 1:

(i) 1.8 ML/day for A class,

(ii) 12 ML/day for B class, and

(iii) 17 ML/day for C class.

Note: These flows represent 30% of the top of A class flows (which is at the 38th percentile), 38% of the top of B class flows (which is at the 16th percentile) and 16% of the C class flow measurement point (which is the 5th percentile) in Zone 1 for all days.

(b) Zone 2:

(i) 10.8 ML/day for A class,

(ii) 22 ML/day for B class, and

(iii) 42 ML/day for C class.

Note: These flows represent 50% of the top of A class flows (which is at the 36th percentile) and 37% of the top of B class flows (which is at the 17th percentile) and 24% of the C class flow measurement point (which is at the 5th percentile) in Zone 2 for all days.

(c) Zone 3:

(i) 14.5 ML/day for A class,

(ii) 27 ML/day for B class, and

(iii) 50 ML/day for C class.

Note: These flows represent 60% of the top of A class flows (which is at the 28th percentile) and 30% of the top of B class flows (which is at the 14th percentile) and 41% of the C class flow measurement point (which is at the 5th percentile) in Zone 3 for all days.

(d) Zone 4:

(i) 94 ML/day for A class,

(ii) 145 ML/day for B class, and

(iii) 300 ML/day for C class.

Note: These flows represent 60% of the top of A class flows (which is at the 22nd percentile) and 54% of the top of B class flows (which is at the 14th percentile) and 39% of the C class flow measurement point (which is at the 5th percentile) in Zone 4 for all days.

(e) At the commencement of this Plan, TDELs have not been established for Zone 5.

(f) At the commencement of this Plan, TDELs have not been established for Zone 6.

Note: All water supply works located in Zone 6 are subject to the condition stated in clause 65 (d) which only allows water to be extracted where there is a visible flow in the river in the downstream vicinity of the water supply work.

(2) The TDEL for each flow class in each zone specified in subclause (1) applies to all rivers within that zone apart from those rivers identified as minor streams in a harvestable right order made under section 54 of the Act.

Note: The harvestable rights order applying to this area at the commencement of this Plan is that gazetted on 23 March 2001 under section 54 of the Act. It identifies minor streams as non-permanent 1st and 2nd order streams as shown on topographic maps.
