2. Current Picture of Abstraction by Sector
Fully Licensed Consumptive Abstraction: 1 Ml/d
Proportion of the total volume of water abstracted by sector if licences were used to full capacity:
Recent Actual Consumptive Abstraction: 1 Ml/d
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):
- Consumptive Abstraction: 2%
- Non-Consumptive Abstraction: 98%
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.

6. Important Notes
• All numbers are indicative, do not include proposed catchment actions (e.g. 2024 Water Resources Management Plans), are based on consumptive abstraction, and are subject to local review
• Licences that are less than 20% consumptive have been filtered out, but may require action after local review
• If no abstraction reductions are identified, abstraction may still need to reduce once local data and information has been considered
• If a licence has a “Hands off Flow” (HOF) condition it may already have the appropriate level of constraint
