This Plan replaces the Water Allocation Plan for the Clare Valley Prescribed Water Resources Area adopted by the Minister for Water Resources on 22 December 2000. The Act requires the Northern and Yorke Natural Resources Management Board (the Board) to prepare a water allocation plan for each of the prescribed water resources in its area. All wells and watercourses within the Prescribed Area bounded by the bold unbroken line in General Registry Office (GRO) Plan Number 368/96 were prescribed on 25 July 1996 under the provisions of the Water Resources Act 1990. The area bounded by the same line in GRO Plan Number 368/96 was declared a surface water prescribed area on 28 October 1999 under the provisions of the Water Resources Act 1997 to address concerns about the ability of surface water run-off to sustain irrigation requirements while also contributing to the flow of watercourses in an amount necessary to protect the health of the watercourses and dependent ecosystems. The purpose of the Plan is to provide criteria by which decisions about the regulation and use of water are
