sec.66 Water licences authorising the taking of water in Glen Niven tributaries zone

A water licence authorising the taking of water in the Glen Niven tributaries zone is inconsistent with this plan unless— the purpose for which water may be taken under the water licence is stated in the water licence as ‘any’; and if the water licence states an area that may be irrigated by water taken under the water licence—the area is removed from the water licence and replaced with an annual volumetric limit for taking water under the water licence, calculated by multiplying the area, in hectares, by 6; and the water licence states the maximum rate at which water may be taken under the water licence. See section 133 (2) of the Act for the actions the chief executive must take if a water licence is inconsistent with a water plan. The Glen Niven tributaries zone is a water management area zone.
