The dataset holds details of all live water abstraction licences in Wales. Expired, lapsed and revoked licences are excluded. The table holds details of maximum annual and maximum daily abstraction quantities. The quantities are the maximum permitted under the licence; they give an indication of the size of the abstraction. Some licences may include aggregating conditions or other conditions which restrict the abstraction; these are not included in the dataset. Data stored from 2013-04-01 to 2016-02-26 in WISKI and from 2016-02-27 to present in PALS. Some of the data is considered sensitive, a redacted public version of the data is available, requests for the full data will be consider on a case-by-case basis. Information warning; Deregulated Licences Some licences were deregulated on 31st March 2005. Deregulated licences include any abstraction of less than 20 cubic metres per day from a surface water source (e.g. stream or drain) or from underground strata (via borehole or well) for any particular purpose. Abstractions were therefore no longer licensable if they fell into this category and revoked. It is therefore possible that there are deregulated abstractions and other unlicensed abstractions present in your area of interest, particularly for domestic or agricultural use or that deregulated licences known before 31st March 2005 are now no longer active. So these abstractions will not be included in the supplied Licensed Water Abstraction data. Further information on the timescales for licensing previously exempt abstractions and remaining exemptions can be found on our website.
