The Water Board may also install measuring devices, for the purpose of determining the volume of water abstracted from a stream or a river by a person or institution in accordance with regulation 3. No person or institution shall abstract from a stream or a river more water than is specified in that person's or that institution's water right. A penalty for over-abstraction is prescribed.
