WATER SHARING PLAN FOR THE NSW BORDER RIVERS REGULATED RIVER WATER SOURCE 2009 - REG 34
Available water determinations for local water utility access licences
34 Available water determinations for local water utility access licences
(1) The water supply system shall be managed so that available water
determinations for local water utility 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 local water utility 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 local water utility access licences in any water year shall not
exceed 100% of share components.
(5) This Plan recognises that the water
requirement of local water utility access licences may increase during the
term of this Plan in accordance with clause 26 and section 66 of the Act.
(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.
