Sequence of priority uses in water allocation (cont.) The proportion of allocation examples indicating that an abstraction charge is in place (breakdown by category of user) is summarised in Figure 3.24. Among categories of uses for which an abstraction charge is in place, industrial use is the most common. Nearly 70% of allocation regimes apply an abstraction charge to industrial users. Sixty-one per cent of allocation regimes apply a charge to agriculture, 58% to hydropower producers, 56% to domestic users, and 47% to energy production (other than hydropower). Examples of allocation regimes that do not have any abstraction charges include Austria,8 Alberta and Prince Edward Island in Canada, the Limari Basin and Maipo’s River First Section in Chile, Denmark, and the Netherlands.
