sec.59 Working out average annual volume

This section applies for working out, for section 56 (1) (b) (iii) , the average annual volume of overland flow water that may be taken. The chief executive must have regard to— the catchment characteristics for the water’s catchment; and the maximum rate, if any, worked out under section 57 , at which the overland flow water may be taken; and the maximum storage capacity, if any, worked out under section 58 , of the works that may be used to store the water; and if overland flow water taken under the water licence is to be used to irrigate crops—the pattern of usage demand for the storage for the water licence; and the extent to which the storage for the water licence may also be used to store water taken under another authorisation; and the other conditions applying to the water licence. In this section— catchment characteristics , for a catchment, means the characteristics of the catchment that affect the volume of overland flow water in the catchment, including, for example— the area of the catchment; and the slope of the catchment; and the amount of rainfall that typically falls in the catchment; and the amount and type of vegetation in the catchment. pattern of usage demand , for a storage, means the pattern of usage from the storage worked out having regard to— how water, stored in or by the storage, is used to grow crops; and the planting rule for the trading zone in which the storage is located. planting rule , for a trading zone, means the method used, in the IQQM computer program simulation, to work out the area under crops in the trading zone in the Border Rivers catchment. storage , for a water licence, means the works that will primarily be used to store the overland flow water taken under the water licence. trading zone means an area stated to be a trading zone for water allocations under this plan.
