About this statute

This part of the Act defines key terms and sets basic rules for water use and waste deposits, including when licences are required and what the Board and Minister may do. The Board may require licence applicants, licensees, or prospective assignees to provide security, and it may renew, amend, cancel, or authorize assignment of licences under stated conditions. The Minister and inspectors have inspection and enforcement powers, people must assist inspectors, obstruction and false statements are prohibited, and several offences carry fines or jail terms.
