WATER SHARING PLAN FOR THE NSW BORDER RIVERS REGULATED RIVER WATER SOURCE 2009 - REG 33
Available water determinations for domestic and stock access licences
33 Available water determinations for domestic and stock access licences
(1) The water supply system shall be managed so that available water
determinations for domestic and stock access licences of 100% of share
components can be maintained through a repeat of the worst period of low
inflows into this water source (based on historical flow information held by
the Department when this Plan commenced).
(2) Sufficient volumes of water
must be set aside from assured inflows into this water source and in reserves
held in Pindari Dam and Glenlyon Dam water storages to provide for subclause
(1).
(3) The available water determination for domestic and stock access
licences made for the commencement of each water year shall be 100% of share
components whenever possible.
(4) The sum of available water determinations
made for domestic and stock access licences in any water year shall not exceed
100% of share components.
(5) This Plan recognises that the water
requirements of domestic and stock access licences may increase during the
term of this Plan in accordance with clause 26.
(6) The volumes of water set
aside from assured inflows into this water source and in reserves held in
Pindari Dam and Glenlyon Dam water storages shall be adjusted as required over
the course of this Plan, if necessary to do so to ensure subclause (1) is
satisfied.
