[QUOTE="headbut, post: 58091, member: 569"] Based on the rules below (c), they cant be assuming that this sort of damage can be done with a man & a pan , can they ? , you would assume that this refers to damming for sluicing etc . Diverting water could be where a highbanker is taking the water out , without returning it , that certainly is a no-no , so to me it references sluices & highbankers 13 Fossicking in a watercourse (1) This section applies to a person fossicking in a watercourse. (2) The person must not (a) fossick within 40m of (i) a weir, bridge or other structure in or over the watercourse; or (ii) a site of a pump used to pump water from the watercourse; or (b) if fossicking within 3m of the top or toe of a bank or in a bank slope may cause erosion or the collapse of the bankfossick within 3m of the top or toe of the bank or in the banks slope; or (c) significantly interrupt, dive rt or stop the flow of water in the watercourse; or (d) cause significant stream turbidity more than 300m downstream from the persons fossicking site; or (e) erect a structure in the watercourse [/QUOTE]
