sec.113 Nominal volume for water allocation
In deciding the nominal volume for the water allocation, the chief executive must have regard to the following— the local availability of groundwater; the conditions under which groundwater may be taken under the authorisation from which the allocation is being converted; the nominal entitlement for the authorisation from which the allocation is being converted; the simulated mean annual diversion for the proposed water allocation. In this section— simulated mean annual diversion , for a proposed water allocation, means the total volume of water simulated to have been taken under the proposed water allocation, as if the proposed water allocation were in existence for the whole of the groundwater simulation period, divided by the number of years in the groundwater simulation period.
