Comment
I support the proposed strengthening of our water quantity management. I am particularly happy that municipalities will be able to refuse to support a permit over concerns about impacts on aquatic ecosystems, water availability or water quality. I also support that the municipalities can set priorities for water taking, when water is in short supply and there are competing demands.
I do suggest that a clarification be made so that the proposed highest priority uses would be drinking water (NOT INCLUDING WATER BOTTLING FACILITIES) and environmental uses such as maintaining stream flows, then agricultural irrigation.
