The Water Abstraction (Transitional Provisions) Regulations 2017
These Regulations contain transitional provisions relating to the licensing of water abstraction by certain categories of persons, in the light of amendments made by the Water Act 2003 (c. 37) to the Water Resources Act 1991 (c. 57) (“the 1991 Act”). Those amendments, which come into force on the same date as these Regulations, limit or remove certain exemptions from the restriction on abstracting water in the 1991 Act.
