We have not been provided with the data collected for some 8 years. As users, we are as keen to protect the resource as anyone else and therefore we need to know what is occurring in the aquifer. 11.If you would like to upload a file please select one of the following 12.Please upload file to the Natural Resources Commission 13.Please upload file to the Office of Water 14.Please upload file to both the Natural Resources Commission and Office of Water 15.Submissions relevant to the NRC's review will be made publicly available on the NRC's website.

I wish to add that the existing plan seems to have worked well. During the time it has been in force, we have seen significant periods of drought and ongoing rain events. As a result, the level of the water table, as measured at my property, has fluctuated some 10-12 feet without any apparent detrimental effect from periods when it was low. My comments are based on my personal observations and those of other groundwater users. I therefore recommend that the management plan continues as it stands and again request that data from the aquifer is collected by the Department on a regular basis and shared with local users so that we know precisely what is happpening and continued management can be based on hard data. 11.If you would like to upload a file please select one of the following 12.Please upload file to the Natural Resources Commission 13.Please upload file to the Office of Water 14.Please upload file to both the Natural Resources Commission and Office of Water 15.Submissions relevant to the NRC's review will be made publicly available on the NRC's website.
