(a) 39 ML/yr in Zone 1,

(b) 359 ML/yr in Zone 2,

(c) 470 ML/yr in Zone 3,

(d) 667 ML/yr in Zone 4,

(j) 36 ML/yr in Zone 10,

(k) 210 ML/yr in Zone 11,

(l) 73 ML/yr in Zone 12, and

(m) 3,304 ML/yr in the Lower Namoi.

(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 overlying these groundwater sources, or as a result of the increase in the exercise of basic landholder rights by existing landholders.
