Australian Capital Territory Numbered Acts Australian Capital Territory Numbered Acts(1) A water access entitlement is an entitlement to the amount of surface water or ground water stated in the entitlement.
(2) The amount must be stated as the lesser of—
(a) a percentage of the total amount of the surface water or ground water available for taking from time to time in the water management area stated in the entitlement; and
(b) a stated maximum volume.
Note Because a water access entitlement entitles the holder to a percentage of the water available for taking, and that amount is likely to vary from time to time, the entitlement does not guarantee that a particular volume of water, or any water, will be available under the entitlement.
