sec.64 Contents for water licences to interfere with water
If the water licence is a water licence to interfere with water in a watercourse for the storage of water, the water licence must state— the maximum volume of water that may be stored under the licence; and the maximum height of a structure used to store water under the licence at the full supply level for the structure; and the conditions, if any, for the licence, including, for example— a pass flow condition; and a condition requiring outlet works to be available and maintained at all times sufficient for the pass flow condition; and a condition requiring a bywash or spillway. If the water licence is a water licence to interfere with water in a watercourse, other than for the storage of water, the water licence must state— the maximum size, including the height, width or length, of a structure used to interfere with water under the licence; the conditions, if any, for the licence. In this section— pass flow condition , for a water licence to interfere with the flow of water in a watercourse by impounding the flow of water, means a condition that states the minimum rate of flow at which water interfered with under the licence must be allowed to pass freely in the watercourse at, or downstream, of the location of the interference. (sec.64-ssec.1) If the water licence is a water licence to interfere with water in a watercourse for the storage of water, the water licence must state— the maximum volume of water that may be stored under the licence; and the maximum height of a structure used to store water under the licence at the full supply level for the structure; and the conditions, if any, for the licence, including, for example— a pass flow condition; and a condition requiring outlet works to be available and maintained at all times sufficient for the pass flow condition; and a condition requiring a bywash or spillway. (sec.64-ssec.2) If the water licence is a water licence to interfere with water in a watercourse, other than for the storage of water, the water licence must state— the maximum size, including the height, width or length, of a structure used to interfere with water under the licence; the conditions, if any, for the licence.
