7.1.6—Resource classification

Renewable means the resource replenishes at least as fast as the rate of use under stated conditions.

Compare extraction with recruitment, recharge or regrowth and include time scale and access.

A groundwater pump withdrawing 12 units while recharge is 8 creates a deficit despite rainfall.

When is a harvest renewable? when removal does not exceed recovery over the relevant period.

Renewable is conditional, not a permanent label.
