Section 57(4)

In the exercise of the power conferred by this section in a case where there are two or more licences under this Chapter in force authorising abstraction from the same source of supply either at the same point or at points which, in the opinion of the appropriate agency, are not far distant from each other— the appropriate agency shall not serve a notice under this section on the holder of one of the licences unless a like notice is served on the holders of the other licences in respect of the same period; and the reductions imposed by the notices on the holders of the licences shall be so calculated as to represent, as nearly as appears to the appropriate agency to be practicable, the same proportion of the quantity of water authorised by the licences (apart from the notices) to be abstracted for use for the purpose of spray irrigation.
