regulated entitlement
An entitlement or claim to water is considered to be regulated when all three of the following conditions are met:
- The holder of a water entitlement or a claim to water can order the release or delivery of water as per their entitlement or claim.
- The volume of water as specified on the entitlement or claim is ‘at call’ and subject to relatively few access conditions under normal circumstances.
- The entitlement or claim to water is volumetrically well-specified.
All allocations on regulated entitlements and actual diversions of flows are reported in the respective water accounting statements of the National Water Account.
