This leads to over-appropriation, and low in-stream water flows. Measurement is needed to ensure that water rights are not being exceeded, as well as to provide information about available flows and allocation of in-stream water needs.

The bill also requires a 20% reduction in municipal water use, but does not require a similar reduction in agriculural water use, which is the largest consumer of surface water in the State.
