reporting programs, that simulate daily stream flows, flow management,
storages, releases, instream infrastructure, water diversions, water demands
and other hydrologic events in the plan area.
"late summer flow regime class" see the Pioneer Valley Water Resource Plan
Environmental Flow Report, December 2001. Editor’s note— A copy of the
report may be inspected at the department’s head office, Brisbane or on the
department’s website.
"mean annual flow" means the total volume of flow in the simulation period
divided by the number of years in the simulation period.
"monthly supplemented water sharing index" , for water allocations in a
particular priority group, means the percentage of months in the simulation
period in which the allocations are fully supplied.
"monthly volumetric limit" means the maximum volume of water that may be taken
under a water entitlement in a month.
"node" see section 9 .
"nominal entitlement" see the Water Regulation 2016 , section 28 .
"nominal volume" means the volume of water, in megalitres, that represents the
share of the water available to be taken by holders of water allocations in a
priority group or a water allocation group.
"original application" , for a water licence, for part 6 , division 2 , see
section 53 (1) (a) .
"period of no flow" , for a node, means a period in which the flow of water in
the watercourse at the node is less than 1ML a day.
"plan area" means the area shown as the plan area on the map in schedule 1 .
"pre-development flow pattern" means the pattern of water flows, during the
simulation period, decided by the chief executive using the IQQM computer
program as if— (a) there were no dams or other water infrastructure in the
plan area; and
(b) no water was taken under authorisations in the plan area.
"previous nominal entitlement" , for a water licence, for part 6 , division 2
, see section 54 .
"priority area" see section 61 .
"related development permit" , for an authorisation, means the development
permit for the works for taking water under the authorisation.
