sec.49M Nominal volume
In deciding the nominal volume for a water allocation to take groundwater in a water allocation group mentioned in schedule 6 , table 2, column 1 (the group ), the chief executive must— have regard to— the local availability of the groundwater; and the conditions under which groundwater may be taken under the allocation; and the simulated mean annual supply for the allocation; and the efficiency of the use of the groundwater taken; and ensure the total of the nominal volumes for the group is not more than the volume stated in schedule 6 , table 2, column 3 for the group. In this section— simulated mean annual supply , for a water allocation, or water allocation group, to take groundwater, means the total volume of groundwater simulated to have been pumped by water bores under the allocation or group, if the allocation or group was in existence for the whole of the simulation period for groundwater, divided by the number of years in the simulation period for groundwater. s 49M ins 2009 SL No. 212 s 45 (sec.49M-ssec.1) In deciding the nominal volume for a water allocation to take groundwater in a water allocation group mentioned in schedule 6 , table 2, column 1 (the group ), the chief executive must— have regard to— the local availability of the groundwater; and the conditions under which groundwater may be taken under the allocation; and the simulated mean annual supply for the allocation; and the efficiency of the use of the groundwater taken; and ensure the total of the nominal volumes for the group is not more than the volume stated in schedule 6 , table 2, column 3 for the group. (sec.49M-ssec.2) In this section— simulated mean annual supply , for a water allocation, or water allocation group, to take groundwater, means the total volume of groundwater simulated to have been pumped by water bores under the allocation or group, if the allocation or group was in existence for the whole of the simulation period for groundwater, divided by the number of years in the simulation period for groundwater.
