sec.31 Interference with water for provision of pumping pool

This section applies if the purpose of the proposed interference with water is to provide a pumping pool to enable water to be taken under an authorisation. The storage capacity of the pumping pool must not be greater than the following— for locations upstream of Awoonga Dam—the capacity required to enable the pump to function properly; for locations downstream of Awoonga Dam—the capacity required to ensure access to fresh water for irrigation or other purposes. In this section— pumping pool means a pool of water near a pump in a watercourse, lake or spring that ensures the water level of the watercourse, lake or spring is appropriate to enable the pump to function properly. (sec.31-ssec.1) This section applies if the purpose of the proposed interference with water is to provide a pumping pool to enable water to be taken under an authorisation. (sec.31-ssec.2) The storage capacity of the pumping pool must not be greater than the following— for locations upstream of Awoonga Dam—the capacity required to enable the pump to function properly; for locations downstream of Awoonga Dam—the capacity required to ensure access to fresh water for irrigation or other purposes. (sec.31-ssec.3) In this section— pumping pool means a pool of water near a pump in a watercourse, lake or spring that ensures the water level of the watercourse, lake or spring is appropriate to enable the pump to function properly.

• (a) for locations upstream of Awoonga Dam—the capacity required to enable the pump to function properly;
• (b) for locations downstream of Awoonga Dam—the capacity required to ensure access to fresh water for irrigation or other purposes.
