sec.94 Nominal volume for a water allocation
In deciding the nominal volume for a water allocation to take unsupplemented water, the chief executive must have regard to the following— the local availability of water; the conditions under which water may be taken under the authorisation; for an authorisation that states any volumetric limits—the stated volumetric limits; the simulated mean annual diversion for the proposed water allocation. In this section— simulated mean annual diversion , for an authorisation or group of authorisations, means the total volume of water simulated to have been taken under the authorisations, if the authorisations were in existence for the whole of the simulation period, divided by the number of years in the simulation period. s 94 amd 2021 SL No. 71 ss 26 , 49 (10) (sec.94-ssec.1) In deciding the nominal volume for a water allocation to take unsupplemented water, the chief executive must have regard to the following— the local availability of water; the conditions under which water may be taken under the authorisation; for an authorisation that states any volumetric limits—the stated volumetric limits; the simulated mean annual diversion for the proposed water allocation. (sec.94-ssec.2) In this section— simulated mean annual diversion , for an authorisation or group of authorisations, means the total volume of water simulated to have been taken under the authorisations, if the authorisations were in existence for the whole of the simulation period, divided by the number of years in the simulation period.
