Section 21(c) of the National Water Act: Impeding or diverting the flow of water in a watercourse
This form allows the applicant to provide information about their water use in respect of
| • | Impeding or diverting flow does not cause any loss in flow. |
| • | Impeding or diverting structures can fully or partially extend into a river, forcing the natural flow direction to be re- directed around the structure. |
| • | Impeding or diverting can be temporary, during construction of a road bridge for example. It can also be permanent, such as the building of a low water bridge across a river where the flow is permanently impeded as it moves under the bridge. |
| • | Gauging weirs are an example of impedance if under low flow conditions there is no storage behind the weir. If there is water retained in the weir, then the water use is considered to be "storing water" and "impeding or diverting flow ". |

Section 21(i) of the National Water Act: Altering the bed, banks or characteristics of a watercourse
This form allows the applicant to provide information about their
water use in respect of
| • | Physical changes that are made to a water course, for example to widen or straighten the channel of a river. |
| • | Alteration of the bed and banks is usually needed for construction and infrastructure development near or across a river. Sand mining is another common example of this water use. |
| • | Alteration of the course of a watercourse refers to the diversion of the water course. The river channel is usually reconstructed or replaced with a canal which may extend for several kilometres from the original course. |

Section 21(e) of the National Water Act: Engaging in a controlled activity in terms of section 37 or 38 of the NWA
| • | Irrigation of any land with waste or water containing waste generated through any industrial activity or by a waterwork |
Currently, the following are controlled activities:
| • | irrigating with waste water; |
| • | modification of atmospheric precipitation (cloud seeding); |
| • | power generation which alters the flow regime of a water resource; and intentional recharge of undergroundwater with waste water. |
| • | A common controlled activity is irrigation with wastewater, typically from a water treatment works. This can be a productive use of water if a crop is grown with the wastewater. |
| • | Hydrological fracturing, unconventional gas. |
|
|
Submit the following "technical reports" with supporting appendices if the purpose of Engaging in a controlled activity in terms of section 37 or 38 of the NWA is for:

Section 21(g) of the National Water Act: Disposing of waste in a manner which may detrimentally impact on a water resource
| • | This is typically disposal that takes place into on-site facilities such as french drains, conservancy tanks, pit latrines and soak-aways. Another example of this water use is disposal into wastewater treatment systems, such as oxidation ponds that do not have an outlet into a water resource. If the oxidation pond has an outflow into a river or dam, it is defined as water use 21(f) above for discharging waste water into a water resource. Evaporation dams are a further common example of this water use. |
