risk, including the results of any sensitivity analysis.

10.42 Description of risks
A water resource plan must describe:
            (a) each risk which is defined in accordance with subsection 10.41(6) as having a medium or higher level of risk; and
            (b) factors that contribute to those risks.

10.43 Strategies for addressing risks
(1) If a water resource plan defines a risk in accordance with subsection 10.41(6) as having a medium or higher level of risk, the water resource plan must either:
            (a) describe a strategy for the management of the water resources of the water resource plan area to address the risk in a manner commensurate with the level of risk; or
            (b) explain why the risk cannot be addressed by the water resource plan in a manner commensurate with the level of risk.
(2) If the water resource plan identifies a risk which relates to a matter dealt with by a requirement in another Part of this Chapter, the strategy must take account of that requirement.
(3) A water resource plan must be prepared having regard to:
            (a) the strategies listed in subsection 4.03(3); and
            (b) any guidelines published by the Authority in accordance with section 4.04.
Note: The Authority may publish guidelines in accordance with section 4.04 in relation to the implementation of strategies to manage or address risks identified in section 4.02.

        Part 10—Measuring and monitoring

10.44 Information relating to measuring take—water access rights
         A water resource plan must include the following information in relation to each class of water access right relating to the water resources of the water resource plan area:
            (a) the best estimate of the total long‑term annual average quantity of water taken that is measured;
            (b) the best estimate of the total long‑term annual average quantity of water taken that is not measured;
            (c) how the quantities under paragraphs (a) and (b) were calculated;
            (d) the proportion of the quantity referred to in paragraph (a) that is measured in accordance with standards for measuring agreed by the Basin States and the Commonwealth.

10.45 Supporting measuring
(1) A water resource plan must specify measures for maintaining and, if practicable, improving:
            (a) the proportion of take that is measured in the water resource plan area; and
            (b) the standard to which take is measured.
(2) The water resource plan must specify the timeframe for implementing the measures.

10.46 Monitoring water resources
(1) A water resource plan must specify the monitoring of the water resources of the water resource plan area that will be done to enable the Basin State to fulfil its reporting obligations under section 13.14.
(2) Nothing in this section limits the capacity of the Basin State to conduct other monitoring of the
