In deciding the nominal volume for a water allocation in a subcatchment area mentioned in schedule 8 , column 1, the chief executive— must consider, for each authorisation— the local availability of water; and the conditions under which water may be taken under the authorisation; and the annual volumes of water estimated by the chief executive to have been taken under the authorisation during the period, of not more than 10 years, immediately before the commencement of this plan; and the simulated mean annual diversion for the authorisation; and the efficiency of the use of the water mentioned in subparagraph (iii) ; and must ensure— the total of the nominal volumes for the water allocations, converted from authorisations that state an area that may be irrigated, in the subcatchment area is not more than the volume stated in schedule 8 , column 2, for the area; and the total of the nominal volumes for the water allocations, converted from authorisations that do not state an area that may be irrigated, in the subcatchment area is not more than the volume stated in schedule 8 , column 3, for the area.
