(2) If a water resource plan identifies an effect, or potential effect, of the kind referred to in subsection (1), the water resource plan must set out:
            (a) a process for monitoring that effect or potential effect; and
            (b) actions that will be taken to respond to that effect or potential effect.

        Division 3—Actual take

10.15 Determination of actual take must be specified
(1) A water resource plan must set out how the quantity of water actually taken for consumptive use by each form of take from each SDL resource unit will be determined after the end of a water accounting period using the best information available at the time.
Note: The annual actual take for the SDL resource unit is the sum of the quantity of water actually taken by each form of take for consumptive use: see subsections 6.10(2) and 6.12B(2). Paragraph 71(1)(c) of the Act requires the annual actual take to be set out in a report to the Authority within 4 months after the end of the water accounting period.
(2) For a particular form of take, and subject to the requirement that a determination use the best information available at the time, a determination may be made by:
            (a) measuring the quantity of water actually taken; or
            (b) estimating the quantity of water actually taken; or
            (c) a combination of the above.
(3) Where a determination for a form of take is made by estimating the quantity of water actually taken, the water resource plan must provide for the estimate to be done consistently with the method under subsection 10.10(1) that relates to that form of take.
(4) The quantity of water actually taken must:
            (a) include water that was held environmental water which was disposed of and then used in the SDL resource unit for consumptive use; and
            (b) exclude water sourced from the Great Artesian Basin and released into and taken from a Basin water resource.
