Proportion of the total volume of actual abstraction by sector based on an average of a 6-year period:
3. Consumptive vs Non-Consumptive Abstraction
Proportion of non-consumptive abstraction in the catchment (not represented in current picture of abstraction by sector):
4. Recent Actual Abstraction Reductions by Sector (Ml/d) to Meet Current RBMP Targets
Recent actual abstraction is based on a set 6-year period.
Figures do not account for future planned actions in the catchment including licence capping proposals.
