Where, in the opinion of the Authority, the supply of ground water from any source or in any area is or is likely to —
become insufficient for the needs of persons using it on account of excessive use, drought or an emergency; or
deteriorate in quality on account of abstraction in excessive quantities or at an excessive rate, the Authority may, at any time, suspend or vary, by notice to the holders of water licences, all or any licence to abstract or use water from that source, or in that area, for such period as the Authority may deem necessary, and upon such notice being given by the Authority, such licences shall cease for the period of suspension or shall be exercisable only as so varied, as the case may be.
