bottling of clean water for export outside of a watershed can only be allowed when demonstrated the amount of water would otherwise leave the watershed as excess flow above the regionally define base flow.

Similarly the pump test undertaken reflect only yeild and do not determine if the water is fossil water and not actively being recharged from surface infiltration. Effectively the proposed water extraction is mining a non-renewable resource.
