to this section, the method may account for other matters.
(3) For paragraph (1)(d), the water resource plan must account for the disposal and acquisition of held environmental water separately and in a way that does not affect the method under section 10.10.

10.13 Limits on certain forms of take
(1) Subject to this section, a water resource plan must require that the long‑term annual average quantity of water that can be taken from a surface water SDL resource unit for consumptive use by:
            (a) take under basic rights; or
            (b) take by runoff dams; or
            (c) net take by commercial plantations;
does not exceed the level specified in column 2 of Schedule 3 for that form of take.
(2) The quantity specified in subsection (1) for a form of take may be increased above the level specified in column 2 of Schedule 3 for that form of take if:
            (a) the long‑term annual average quantity of water that can be taken by another form of take from the same SDL resource unit is changed at the same time so that there is no overall change in the total long‑term annual average quantity of water that can be taken; and
            (b) take by the forms of take affected by the changes are capable of:
                (i) being accurately measured (for example, through the use of a meter); or
                (ii) in the case of a form of take that is not capable of being accurately measured at the time the water resource plan is submitted for accreditation or adoption—being reasonably estimated using the best available method immediately before the water resource plan is submitted; and
            (c) the changes are not expected to result in the take from the SDL resource unit ceasing to be an environmentally sustainable level of take.

10.14 Effects, and potential effects, on water resources of the water resource plan area
(1) A water resource plan must identify the effect, or potential effect, if any, of the following on the use and management of the water resources of the water resource plan area:
            (a) the taking of groundwater that is not a Basin water resource resulting in water being removed from a groundwater SDL resource unit in the water resource plan area because of a pre‑existing hydrological connection or a hydrological connection created by the process of taking that groundwater;
            (b) the taking of groundwater that is not a Basin water resource resulting in water that would otherwise flow directly or indirectly into an SDL resource unit in the water resource plan area no longer flowing into that unit.
(2) If a water resource plan identifies an effect, or potential effect, of the kind referred to in subsection (1),
